The Story so Far
SOLUTIONS
n
Students are not employees of an institution, therefore any IP that
they create whilst attending an institution will most likely belong to
them (subject to any agreements to the contrary, e.g. an assignment
agreement between the student and the institution). Accordingly, if
an institution wants to use such IP, it needs to obtain permission from
the student.
n
Where individuals work for organisations other than their institution,
be aware that those organisations may have rights in any work that the
individuals have carried out whilst working with them. Accordingly, if an
institution wants to use such IP, it will need to seek the permission of the
relevant organisation.
