Introduction
The organisation owns, creates, commissions, loans, acquires, has deposited and uses a wide range of Works. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protects many of these. This document sets out the organisation's policy regarding the use, access to and management of these IPR. It includes IPR owned by the organisation, as well as any IPR vesting in the organisation's Works for which a third party might own the IPR.
This Policy outlines a framework under which the organisation, its staff and those working for or on behalf of the organisation should operate to ensure legal compliance, reduce the organisation's exposure to risks and work in accordance with robust ethical and reputational imperatives. Moreover, adherence to this Policy supports the achievement of the organisation's strategic objectives.
