The story so far
SCENARIOS
Any thoughts so far? As a starting point, maybe have a quick look through
the Intellectual Property & Confidentiality Guide and think about the
issues highlighted in it. Consider what you would do if you were in the
position of each of the individuals mentioned above.
Things you might want to think about are:
n what IP has been, is being or will be created (trade marks, patentable
inventions, copyright, etc)?
n
who will own the IP?
n
are there any third party rights which might cause problems?
n
are there any confidentiality issues to consider?
what IP implications does the status of the different people
involved have?
n
Gather your thoughts and have them with you as you now examine
the detail of what the individuals have been doing. We are first going
to look at what IP has been created and how it can be, should be or
should have been protected.
