Intellectual Property Rights

Subject to third party interests such as commercial partners/ funders, research data which supports a scholarly work produced by a member of University staff is owned by the University. Please see the Intellectual Property Policy for further details.

For multi-partner projects, intellectual property right (IPR) ownership should be agreed within a consortium agreement. The Department of Research, Business and Innovation’s Contracts and Policies Team can advise on this (drbi@aber.ac.uk).

 

Third party data

If your research uses data created by a third party, make sure you understand and adhere to the relevant licence terms and conditions. For advice on this, please contact the Data Protection & Copyright Manager (infocompliance@aber.ac.uk).
