We meet students through many means, at exhibitions, seminars, webinars & online – but all say the same – they do not receive enough information on what rights they are creating in their work and how to protect it through their design course curriculum. IP can be confusing, but knowledge is the key to understanding what rights you have and how best to support them.
Joining ACID as a Student member at a heavily discounted rate is our opportunity to educate you on how to take the leap into business with an armoury of benefits available. Are you showing your designs to third parties – use an ACID Confidentiality agreement. Have you been approached by a large company who want to licence your design? Speak to ACID Legal Affiliates for advice. Do you want to secure your unregistered rights until you have the funds to register your designs with the UKIPO or EUIPO? Use the IP Databank as your first level of support.
Get full access to ACID's Standard Membership benefits at an affordable rate, including the IP Databank to protect your end-of-year designs.
