Okay... related to the "work for hire"... can you provide an example of what that clause might look like in a contract?  I understand the meaning, but would like to see it "in use" in a contract.

Thanks,

Not necessarily.  If it was written as a "work-for-hire", the sponsor owns it outright.

The person who wrote the survey has IP rights.

RESADMers who know something about intellectual property--who owns a survey?  We do some surveying work for outside clients.  Clearly, the client owns the results of the survey, i.e. the data and analyses we provide; we can't sell that to others without their permission.  But who owns the survey itself?

Thanks for your wisdom and regards, Bill
