IADR Policy on Abstract Licensing

By submitting an abstract to the IADR, and in consideration for the opportunity to be included in the IADR's presentations, the author of the abstract hereby provides to the IADR a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the abstract in the IADR's publications and materials. To the extent that the IADR incorporates an abstract in a collection or compilation of materials, including but not limited to any publication of meeting abstracts or an online, searchable collection of abstracts, the author acknowledges and agrees that the IADR shall own all right, title and interest in and to such collections and compilations including any copyrights to said collections and compilations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, U.S. Government Works, as defined under the Copyright Act found under Title 17 of the U.S. Code, are exempt from any copyright transfer contemplated herein, and any purported transfer of the copyright to a U.S. Government Work pursuant to this subsection shall be of no force or effect.
