Copyright in a submitted report remains with the User; however, the Office may use it free of charge and without restriction as to territory or period (including reproduction, adaptation and public transmission) for purposes such as operating and promoting the Service and creating and selling statistical data. Users shall not exercise their moral rights as authors against such use.
