<br />14. COPYRIGHTED WORKS
<br />Pursuant to 2 C.F.R. 200.315(b), the Grantee may copyright any work that is subject to copyright and
<br />was developed, or for which ownership was acquired, under this Grant. The Office on Violence
<br />Against Women (OVW) reserves a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable right to reproduce,
<br />publish, or otherwise use the work, in whole or in part (including in the creation of derivative works),
<br />for federal purposes, and to authorize others to do so.
<br />OVW also reserves a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable right to reproduce, publish, or
<br />otherwise use, in whole or in part (including in the creation of derivative works), any work developed
<br />by a subgrantee of this Grant, for federal purposes, and to authorize others to do so.
<br />In addition, the Grantee (or any subgrantee, contractor, or subcontractor of this Grant at any tier) must
<br />obtain advance written approval from the COMMERCE representative assigned to this Grant, and
<br />must comply with all conditions specified by the program manager in connection with that approval,
<br />before: 1) using Grant funds to purchase ownership of, or a license to use, a copyrighted work; or 2)
<br />incorporating any copyrighted work, or portion thereof, into a new work developed under this Grant.
<br />It is the responsibility of the Grantee (and of each subgrantee, contractor, or subcontractor as
<br />applicable) to ensure that this condition is included in any subgrant, contract, or subcontract under
<br />this award.
