Intellectual Property in training design

Training design often uses established models and frameworks, but understanding intellectual property rights is crucial. While crediting original creators is essential, modifying models slightly may still require attribution depending on the level of change and copyright protection involved. Learn key guidelines to avoid legal issues while ensuring proper recognition of sources.

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

  1. 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,
