Dear Sir or Madam,
Please could you provide me with copies of all the advice and
discussions held by the University of Southampton or provided to
you in relation to the way you mark Freedom of Information requests
to warn applicants of your rights under Copyright and Intellectual
Property law.
Please provide any documents from 1.1.04 to the current date. I
appreciate that this may include advice and discussion that has now
been overtaken by newer advice and discussions.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr. Davis
Thank you for your email of 22 September and apologies for the delay in responding.
The University does not hold any recorded advice or discussions with regard to marking of responses to FOI requests. Informal discussions were held within Legal Services (the University's in-house legal department) with regard to how to respond to Freedom of Information requests where the University's response would be published directly on the Internet. It was felt appropriate to remind applicants who intended to publish the University's response to their request on the Internet that their entitlement is only to the information contained in the response and not to any material protected by intellectual property laws.
Yours sincerely
Barbara Halliday

Dear Sir or Madam,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of University of
Southampton's handling of my FOI request 'Copyright and
intellectual property'.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/co...
The grounds of my appeal are quite simply I do not believe that you
could have reached a decision to protect your answers on public
websites in such a bizarre way without every have put anything in
writing.
I think you must have some documents that touch on this matter and
I would like them to be disclosed.
Yours faithfully,
Matthew Davis
