Co-designing and Managing Projects with Primeast

Intellectual Property

In our industry it is easy to fall into IP disputes because much of the material we work with is ‘in the public domain’ and on websites etc. However we should not assume that because the work has been published or is on the internet it is free for anyone to use – it may have been reproduced under licence. We want to ensure we do not fall into a dispute and need your help. Please ensure all permissions are in place for any material you take from other sources and that they are referenced or credited. Also, because the work is being commissioned by us or by a client, the IP is automatically assigned to us to re-use unless a restriction is requested by a client. On some contracts we may have agreed to assign newly created IP to a client.

Even more restrictive are those materials which can only be used by accredited practitioners. This is fine if you are the accredited practitioner, but for global roll-outs we need to ensure we have those accreditations in place in the network of associates.
