For Reliant Works
When the CW is produced by an employee within the scope of his or her employment, Reliant legally owns the copyrights and all other legal rights and interests in the CW. This is legal standard under U.S. copyright law that Reliant must adhere to as an employer. Such Reliant Works would include:
...
- Independent Works - All royalties and income obtained from the CW belong solely to the employee.
- Reliant Works - All royalties and income obtained from a Reliant Work legally belong to Reliant.
- Derivative Works - Unless negotiated otherwise with the Executive Director, all royalties and income obtained from a Derivative Work that was derived from an existing Reliant work legally belongs to Reliant.
