STUDENTS' RESEARCH: WORTH EXPLOITING?


Today Jeremy gave his paper at the conference, "Intellectual Property in a Changing Society" (see previous blog). When he spoke about university IP policy, he mentioned that it wasn't just academic employees such as professors, lecturers and research fellows who generate potentially valuable and commercially exploitable IP: students also generate work that can be commercially exploited, though their legal positition is often unclear and their work is sometimes abused by supervising staff and universities alike. This comment triggered off a heated discussion of the situation in Poland, where students have apparently had quite a raw deal. The IPKat would like to hear from any visitors to this blog if they know of any real live cases of students' research being misappropriated by their teachers or by the university at which they are registered. Please post your comments below.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
