Subject : IP Essentials - Unlocking potential within your association
In the non-profit sector, employees, freelancers, members and other third parties frequently generate and produce materials such as publications, accreditations, (joint) database and website content. These materials are typically subject to intellectual property rights (e.g. right to use, right to transfer, etc. Intellectual property rights are significant assets, playing a crucial role in helping non-profit entities accomplish their desired purposes.
Join us in our upcoming seminar, where we aim to offer non-profit entities greater clarity regarding the complex world of intellectual property rights. Using real-world examples, we will highlight the different kinds of intellectual property rights created and used within the non-profit environment.
Our speakers will explain the principles relating to intellectual property rights: when and how can a material be protected by intellectual property rights? Who is the original rightsholder? Is there an automatic transfer of intellectual property rights or not? What is the benefit of a transfer versus a license? How should the transfer of intellectual property rights take place? What is a license? In addition to providing an answer to these questions, there will also be a possibility to ask questions.
In addition to exploring intellectual property rights, we will also cover how to map and protect these. We will highlight responsibilities within the organisation and offer best practices for managing intellectual property rights effectively, emphasising the importance of good governance.
