Do I own the copyright to a chart I designed for recording patient observations and data?
If you don’t own the copyright to the chart, you are not entitled to payment when it is reproduced. Factors that need to be considered to determine whether you own the rights to the chart include whether it was designed as part of your working duties, whether you used other charts to help you design the new one, and what is stated in your contract.
