Hi Robert. I subscribe to the FRIAM listserv, and have seen your note here. 

I'm wondering what the law is regarding the sharing of intellectual property 
where one person establishes the general rules for a computer simulation and 
then takes those rules to a programmer who then creates a specific program 
based on your rules.  Do you both share in the resulting simulation, or can the 
programmer argue the simulation is his/hers?  I am in a situation where I have 
established the general rules for a simulation, and another fellow has created 
the actual sim - so am curious to know how we should go about claiming our 
respective intellectual property rights (hopefully they are shared).

Thanks and would be grateful if you could run this by Dr Winchell.

  For those nearby, don't forget the sfComplex Meeting on Intellectual Property 
is next Tuesday, October 6, 2009 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm (see 
http://sfcomplex.org/wordpress/2009/09/intel_property#more-3032 for details).  
I can try to get Bruce to answer a few questions like these if it's too far for 
you.  Email me your question (50 words or less) and I'll see what I can do.

  Thanks,
  Robert C

    Interestingly,
    Most journals I interact with no longer have paper options for this sort of 
thing. All you do is click on a link that says "I agree". I have wondered how 
enforceable any such agreement is, and what the publisher would do if I 
insisted on a paper transaction in which I could do things like write in 
clauses. Has anyone had experience with these issues?
