Amy Thomas is a Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law at the School of Law, University of Glasgow, CREATe.

About this Session

This online session explores how doctoral researchers can use intellectual property (IP) to protect their work, and the situations in which you can use the work of others. We will consider IP-relevant questions for the ‘real world’ of research: who owns what you post on social media? Can you re-use someone else’s dataset? What does it mean to publish ‘open access’? What happens if someone copies work you present at a conference?  

The session is intended to be interactive, and researchers are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and submit their intellectual property-related questions for the facilitator(s) ahead of the session. We will accommodate space for a Q&A session and copyright ‘mythbusting’.

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:  

• Identify the main types of intellectual property and differentiate between them.  
• Apply intellectual property law to assess the status of your own work, and the work around you. 
• Consider how intellectual property may be used to protect and exploit your work.

Who might be interested? 

Doctoral researchers of any stage of their research and in any arts and humanities related discipline. The session accommodates researchers who are interested in both intellectual property over their research itself and/or their own personal work.

Participant Pre-requisites

No prior knowledge of intellectual property is assumed or required, though researchers are welcomed to reflect on their own experiences working with intellectual property and prepare questions for the facilitator(s).
