HR-6612 : Still Just a Bill


The "Defense Civilian Faculty Copyright Act of 2025" (H.R. 6612) aims to amend title 17 of the United States Code, which governs copyright law.

Key provisions of this bill include:

  • It allows the Federal Government to use, royalty-free, literary works created by civilian faculty members of the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences.
  • This applies to works produced by these faculty members in the course of their employment.
  • The bill achieves this by adding the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences to a specific list within section 105 of title 17, United States Code, which addresses copyright ownership by the United States Government.
