Abstract:

Discusses intellectual property rights (IPRs) and university lecturers, referring to codes of practice and policy statements. Argues that IPR in the patents area is very much a matter of commercial exploitability and getting an equitable benefits agreement, but that in the area of copyright issues it is much more cloudy and controversial. Interpreting "in the course of employment" and other key factors has become increasingly important for employees in higher education, as stakeholders seek to capitalize on intellectual assets but not always collaboratively.
