Personal purposes: Personal purposes are defined as (i) personal use, (ii) use within the home, and (iii) use within a range commensurate with home use (where a "commensurate range" is defined as "a group similar to a household gathering usually numbering about 4-5 people who have a close and exclusive relationship similar to a household gathering" (No. 5 subcommittee report (S56) of the copyright enquiry commission)). For example, this could apply to a specific small number of close friends, or to a small research group (source: Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs website).

Non-personal purposes: All other forms of use besides those mentioned above (Copyright Law Article 30) require the permission of the copyright holder.

The distinction between personal and non- personal purposes at the IEICE is shown in Table 1 of the document "Explanation of IEICE Provisions on Copyright".

Since this would correspond to "Reproduction, etc. in schools and other educational institutions" as covered by Article 35 of the Copyright Law, articles can be reproduced without permission for educational purposes, except in cases where doing so would unfairly infringe on the IEICE's interests (in cases where copies are made for a "large number" of people (at the IEICE, this corresponds to "50 or more people" in line with the "Introduction to Copyright Law" compiled by the Agency for Cultural Affairs)). In this case, it would first be necessary to submit an application form for permission to use copyrighted work to the IEICE. (IEICE Provisions on Copyright, article 5 paragraph 3).

Although this is an educational purpose, the use of copyrighted articles for corporate in-house training counts as for-profit use and thus requires the prior submission to the IEICE of an application form for permission to use copyrighted work to the IEICE. (When material is used by a company for employee training or other purposes, this corresponds to a non-private purpose under copyright law and is thus regarded as being for profit.)

This is regarded as a for-profit use, so an application form for permission to use copyrighted work must first be submitted to the IEICE. A response will be issued after the request has been considered by the IEICE's copyright administration committee. (IEICE Provisions on Copyright, article 5)

Using exactly the same contents of a paper before it has been published is not permitted. Please restrict any announcements to a brief outline.

To avoid confusion resulting from differences between the author's final version and publisher's version, publication of the author's final version is not allowed. Only the publisher's version can be published. The conditions under which permission is granted can be found in the document "Standards for requesting the use of copyrighted articles etc. published in the Japanese and English IEICE publications (Except the IEICE Technical Report)".

The scope of permission depends on the type of IEICE publication involved.

However, the IEICE Journal and conference proceedings are published on DVDs and CD-ROMs for corporate use. When an organization has purchased such a DVD or CD-ROM and has remitted the enclosed "consent form" to the IEICE offices, it is permitted to use the articles on local PCs within the organization and to browse them by means of file sharing over a network (LAN).

Note: "File sharing over a network (LAN)" is assumed to be on a scale where the material is accessible by no more than 100 people on the internal network (LAN) of a single research center or business premises.

It is permissible to include quotations as long as they are within a legitimate range according to Copyright Law. In general, when quoting a document, there are various requirements that must be met, such as only quoting the smallest necessary range, indicating which parts have been quoted, and clearly indicating the source of the quotation (e.g., including the author's name, document title, journal name, volume, issue, page number and publication date). If you are likely to quote more than a suitable quotation range (see A3), you will need to ask for the copyright holder's permission.

If you are using more than a suitable quotation range (see A3), you will have to obtain the permission of this paper's copyright holder before using it in a paper submitted to the IEICE.

If you keep within a suitable range of quotation (see A3), then all you need to do is mention the source of the images in a footnote. If you are using more than a suitable quotation range, then you should first get permission from the copyright holder.

You can use a single form to apply for multiple items - just list the items on a separate sheet of paper. Please provide a copy of the text you are quoting in each case.
