Digital law scrum and…bacon! Sprint 7 - Unlocking the IPR Puzzle - Supplier & Customer Perspective Solutions

Piecing together all of the intellectual property rights (“IPRs”) in digital content, such as a website or SaaS product, is a bit like building a puzzle - having the full picture beforehand helps simplify the task.

This sprint will try to build up that picture* for you by helping you understand the various types of IPRs (the “what”), link these to digital content (the “how”) and issues regarding ownership (the “who”). Understanding this will be helpful when negotiating your customer contracts - who are likely to want to own all intellectual property in the digital content.

We will then look at the differences between assigning and licencing IPRs and possible solutions to satisfy both you and your customers whilst ensuring you don’t “give away” anything you can’t or shouldn’t.

In the meantime, if you just can’t wait until then, check out our previous blawg on the subject - https://www.law-point.co.uk/blog/intellectual-property-protection/

* Hint - If you’ve been to our scrum before you’ll know we don’t like don’t like death by PowerPoint and so we have got our creative juices flowing and you’ll be working with us to build and de-construct the IPR puzzle on the day! See you there.
