Scope: The Library occasionally receives requests from law offices concerning when a publication was first made publicly available at CUL and/or to make and authenticate a copy of that publication from Cornell’s holdings. Since this information may be filed with a court, this procedure insures that we are in compliance with University Counsel policy regarding these matters. The following steps for responding to these requests are based on guidelines from Peter Hirtle, CUL’s Intellectual Property Officer, in consultation with Cornell’s Office of University Counsel.
