  • About Us

    Creative Commons USA is a chapter of the CC Global Network. We focus on furthering progress toward open culture, open education, open data, and open access to research in the United States. We provide legal expertise around the CC licenses, support to organizations and institutions that use (or could use) open licensing, and advice for decision-makers on issues and policies that move us toward a more open society.

    Currently, Creative Commons USA is housed at the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) at the American University Washington College of Law.
