[FRIAM] Book publishing advice needed

[Russell Standish]

My own experience of IP policy by a university was when my institution
decided in the early noughties to require all staff to sign an IP
legal agreement. I had been working there some 8 years by this
point. I looked over the legal agreement, objected to a couple of
clauses, and proposed amendments back to the uni IP lawyer, just like
I've done with IP agreements in subsequent roles I've had. I never
heard a thing back from the lawyer - result was I never signed the
damned thing, so wasn't bound by its provisions. I ended up with a
much more rights than if the uni had agreed to my amendments in the
first place!
