The owner of the copyrights for OT III and all its derivations is not the "Church of Scientology," but a corporation known as Church of Spiritual Technology (CST), dba "L. Ron Hubbard Library."

Religious Technology Center and Bridge Publications are only LICENSEES of CST, so Ava Paquette is CST's yard-dog. She also works for (and only ever mentions) the licensees in order to protect the real owners of the copyrights and keep them out of litigation and discovery.

There is lots of information on the web and in a.r.s. archives on this.

Here is some of the copyright information from a post that was posted in a.r.s. back in April 2000. All the copyrights are owned by CST:
