- I got a question on IEEE copyright form. Say, an IEEE sponsored conferece
- accepts a paper for poster presentation and publishes only the abstract
- of the paper in the conference proceedings. When the author sign off
- the IEEE copyright form, is it the copyright of the whole paper or just
- the copyright of the published abstract gets transferred to IEEE?
-
- Thanks.

- [mod- this all depends on what the form says. In most countries, you
- have to actually agree to assign the copyright for it to be actually
- assigned (apart from some employee-employer situation. If the form
- stipulates that you agree to assign the copyright then it is assigned,
- otherwise I doubt that you are assinging it.
