For the Enterprise |
|
|
|
Every day around the globe, in every company that designs or build products, engineers
reference hundreds of copyrighted materials including Standards and technical documents.
Do your employees understand the restrictions that apply to the copying and distribution
of these documents? Are they inadvertently putting your Company at risk for copyright
infringement? (click here
for our whitepaper to learn more about the risks and consequences of misuse) |
|
|
We believe 90% of all infringement happens at the copier. Other examples
of common misuse in the workplace include:
- Including all or part of a Standard for teaching or workshops;
- Emailing a Standard to another employee, a supplier or partner organization;
- Putting a Standard on a CD and distributing it to users;
- Making Standards available on a network.
