Depends on the nature of the copyright agreement. Simply put, in the US,
anything you write down in your words is your property, whether you seek or
declare a copyright or not. You cannot copyright a fact, but you can
copyright your unique expression of a fact, which is why the New York Times
could sue someone for cutting and pasting its reportage of, say, a plane
crash.

Many trade associations ask those who contribute to their conference
proceedings to sign a waiver permitting the trade association to publish the
paper and (possibly) charge a fee to those who want to access it. Typically,
but not in all cases, the trade association does not seek to take ownership
of the actual content; instead, the waiver is basically an assignment of
certain rights held by the originating person (or their company). To be
safe, the best thing to do here is to post the original pdf as it was
supplied to IPC (thus it would be the author's expression of the facts).
Given the nature of the use here, however, I would guess IPC doesn't
particularly care.

Also, typically, the older the material, the less likely the association is
to care whether its author's agreement is being followed.

I'm not sure whether there may not be a copyright issue here, even if
the IPC printed it in its proceedings. I feel this should be clarified.
