CLSI's Digital Rights Management Policy

CLSI has implemented watermarking of documents to help protect the
intellectual property of our standards and guidelines.

The importance of protecting copyrighted material distributed through
the Internet is a major issue for organizations today. Many of our
volunteers and authors contribute a tremendous amount of time and
expertise to develop our documents. Sales of these documents are
the major source of revenue, which supports our non-profit mission. 

In this regard, we have added a watermark to our electronic documents.
The watermark will display red text using variable information along the
bottom of every page of a document as follows:

The first line displays:
"Licensed to: Full Name Organization. Single User License only."

The second line displays:
“This document is protected by copyright. CLSI order # 99999, id # 999999, downloaded on day month year.”

A watermark also will appear on our inventory of ISO documents to
comply with ISO's policy for resellers.

If you have any questions or comments regarding watermarking,
please feel free to contact us at customerservice@clsi.org.
