As we adjust to new ways of experimenting and engaging in a digital space, there’s never been a more vital time to understand how to benefit from Intellectual Property or ‘IP’.
The Careers and Employability team have launched a new online IP education module to enhance your innovative thinking and ways of responding to current global challenges to make sure you are seen, heard and respected.
Respecting IP and individual creative rights
‘From idea to industry: valuing your creative rights’ covers international legal rights protecting the financial and reputational interests of creators and innovators.
Designed with creatives for UAL creatives, the module combines legal principles with key considerations and shared experiences from UAL students, recent graduates and others in the creative industries.
The aim is to encourage best practice and respect of an individual’s creative rights and the rights of others rather than legal advice. There will be a focus on collaborating with others and understanding who to contact for further guidance.
How the IP module works
The aim is to help you make informed, confident decisions about IP as creators and producers of content and take responsibility for the ethical dimensions of your work when working with others.
The module is made up of 5 sections: Creating, Protecting, Managing, Using and Sharing; taking a combined total of approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete.
Following a flexible, non-linear pattern, sections can be accessed in any order to suit the needs of your creative practice.
