The Story so Far
SOLUTIONS
n
Students are not employees of an institution, therefore any IP that they
create whilst attending an institution may 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.
