Fair Dealing Guidelines

In order to help users navigate the particulars of applying copyright law, a number of policies and guidelines have been developed for the university community. The Fair Dealing Guidelines in particular should be noted, as fair dealing has been recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada as an important user’s right, and the Copyright Act has established purposes such as research, private study, and education as benefiting from this right. The links of the left side menu of this page provide you with access to the relevant policies and licensing information regarding the use and creation of copyright protected works at the University of Regina.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property (IP) is the result of intellectual or artistic activity, created by a member of the university in a scholarly, professional, or student capacity that can be owned by a person. Some examples of IP are inventions, publications, computer software, works of art, or industrial and artistic designs. Depending on the type of intellectual property, they are protected under different kinds of legislation such as patent, copyright, industrial design, or trademark laws.
