If you’re studying product design, your work isn’t just coursework, it’s intellectual property.

There are various IP rules you need to consider, such as university policies, contracts, public disclosure, if you want to make sure you own your IP. There are key legal considerations that can affect who owns your designs and how you can use them in the future.

Understanding how patents, design rights and copyright apply to your work will help you protect your ideas and build a stronger creative career.

Start early. Stay informed. Protect your work.
