Hi there,
When designing sessions in a training workshop, is there a set of simple IP guidelines that apply to using well known models and approaches? I know the rules about crediting any models used to the owners but if I tweak a model slightly, is this also covered?
I'm trying hard not to fall foul of any legalities and am also keen to ensure that I am giving the credit and recognition due, but want to know how far I need to go and any pitfalls I need to look out for - all help, suggestions and advice genuinely welcome!
Thanks
Julie

Sources for models etc
It is a hard one to give a general guideline on, each model has its own IP. Of course you must credit source, but you must also make sure you are allowed to copy / use etc.
I put up a list of useful links on my site which may be a good starting point for many popular training ‘things’:

If in doubt, check! Asking IP owners’ permission is a good move.
Another great place to check is http://www.trainingballs.com – Alan usefully explains the provenance and usually IP issues too.
Good luck,
