Mapping the Legal Landscape


Some key facts• Your projects will be:

– Developing new content and technology – Deploying/ adapting pre-existing content and technology

• Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) key to your project• IPR protect creations of the mind• IPR behave just like property• Digital IPR is no different from print: just easier to infringe• IPR = respect, inspiring innovation & exploring

opportunities


Layers of rights

Role of licences I….


Role of licences II….• Licences are the mechanisms to facilitate transactions

• This means:

– The rights third parties grant you (rights in)

– The rights you grant to third parties (rights out)

• Many different types of licences

• Licences are a form of contract

• Contract law over-rides copyright law!

What does this mean for you..• Potentially many layers of rights • Permissions need to be sought and rights cleared• You are subject to JISC’s t&c’s:

– You own the rights in your project deliverables– You ensure that all rights are cleared– Content delivered under Open Access principles– Software delivered under Open Source principles

• You will be subject to Consortium Agreements

• You will be:• Developers of content and technology = Owners of your own IP• Deploying/ adapting others content & technology = Users of third

party IP

• If you get your rights sorted, possibilities of future sustainability opportunities can be explored!


What do we know?• Multiple layers of rights• Multiple rights holders• Lack of clarity about ownership in collaborations• Many rights holders unknown or cannot be traced• Users of your project deliverables may also be

rights holders of stuff they are contributing• Cultural perceptions of users• Copyright not the only rights issues• IPR not the only legal issues• Compatibility between rights in and rights out

What can go wrong?• Infringement of copyright:

– Debatable originality in pure data – but other works will be protected– Communicating works to the public– Removal of rights management info and TPMs?– Permitting more rights than you have permission to grant– Not clearing third party content (images; user generated content etc)– Liability of Internet Service Providers

• Breach of contract:– With JISC (and other funding parties)– With each other (Consortium Agreements)– With non staff (students; freelancers etc)– With employers– With third parties with whom you have established relationships (CLA Licence etc)

• Sustainability– Not tying up rights so that enabled to use them in the future– Not protecting rights sufficiently (i.e. Database Rights that might arise)– Lack of strategy to explore commercial opportunities

Legal and non legal ramifications

The Technology• Am I developing a new technology?• Am I developing an existing technology?• Am I deploying an existing technology?

The Content• Which team members are involved in developing content (and technologies)• Am I using content generated by a third party not a member of the team?

Access: Technology and Content• How do I want my technology and content to be made available to users

(over the short and longer term)?
