Q13. Do you have any questions about copyright, which don't relate to digital educational material development?

Please refer to the appropriate person in charge in your department. (ICER can only deal with digital educational material development copyright queries.)

［Reference］
For example, with regards a copyright infringement problem, the place to deal with that is: (in the case the parties involved are faculty) said parties administration department, (in the case the parties involved are students) the students' supervisor. Following that, the normal procedure for dealing with a complaint, for legal advice, disciplinary procedures etc. is to do so in co-operation with your departments' person in charge of administration.
