Reproduction and Use of National Cancer Institute Materials
Untitled Document
Most of the information products developed by the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) (such as brochures, books, and fact sheets) may be reproduced without
permission from NCI. These products are in the “public domain.”
They are not subject to copyright restrictions, and you are free to reproduce
them. However, some NCI materials are copyrighted, and you need permission to
reproduce them.
You Do Not Need Permission To:
- Reproduce electronic and printed NCI products (in part or in their entirety)
even if they contain copyrighted artwork, such as photos, graphics, and illustrations.
- Translate text from NCI products into other languages. If you do translate
NCI products, do not use the NCI, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS), or PDQ® logos on your translations
since NCI has not reviewed or approved your product.
- Use the text from NCI products in your own materials. If you do use the
text from NCI products, do not use the NCI, NIH, DHHS, or PDQ logos on items
you develop since NCI did not approve them.
- Link to NCI Web sites. If you wish to use materials from NCI Web sites,
we strongly suggest linking directly to that information to be sure that you
and your users have the most up-to-date version. However, do not use the link
in a way that implies endorsement or sponsorship by NCI.
You Do Need Permission To:
- Extract copyrighted artwork, which appears in NCI print and Web products,
for use in your own products, programs, or activities. Artwork used in NCI
materials may be copyrighted. Therefore, you must have the permission of the
copyright holders to use these graphics, illustrations, or photographs for
other purposes. In many cases, permission will be granted. However, a credit
line and/or fee may be required. You must negotiate permission requests directly
with the copyright holders.
