What is Intellectual Property?
Think IP doesn’t impact you? Think again! I surrounds you every day and could affect your work and your livelihood.
Types of Intellectual Property include Copyright, Trademarks, Registered Designs, Trade Secrets, Patents, Moral Rights and Community Designs.
It impacts ideas, inspiration, using other people’s work, copying and infringement, commissions, selling and income, reputation, branding, licensing and freelancing. Do you still think it doesn’t affect you?

Do you know what IP impacts?
It’s so easy to think that Intellectual Property doesn’t impact you. But when you realise just how far and wide it reaches, you might want to think again.
It impacts ideas and inspiration, using other people’s work, copying and infringment, commissions, selling and income, reputation, branding and licensing and freelancing, logos, brands, business relationships and reputation.
Not so irrelevant after all!

Amanya IP Courses are a series of well-structured and immersive courses focusing on intellectual property – an extremely wide topic that is often not given the attention and understanding it deserves.
The courses are aimed at different proficiencies and are a valuable resource not just for beginners, but also for active creatives and business professionals whose encounters with IP extend beyond the logo on their morning coffee cup. The beginners courses cover the elementary principles of intellectual property, drawing similarities and making comparisons with the world of physical property, while the advanced courses go much deeper in the topic, also focusing on areas including IP infringement and licensing.
Although the contents of the courses vary, all of them are accompanied by engaging visuals, practical examples and case law summaries highlighting the significance of intellectual property and its importance in everyday (business) life.

Dr Roger Lowe, Intellectual Property Lawyer
Regardless of the size of your business, the nature of the goods it supplies or the services it provides, your business will create and as a consequence, it will own some forms of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). The three key forms of IPRs for any commercial Artist or Designer to be aware of are rights in trade marks, rights in designs, and copyright.
Unfortunately, all of these IPRs are far from easy to understand, nor are they easy to apply to real-life, the complexity is exacerbated by the overlap created by these IPRs in certain situations.
However, help is at hand, and this Beginners Guide to Intellectual Property for Artists and Designers is a great place to start in order to begin and cement your awareness of the issues, and to build a foundation of your understanding.
The various examples taken from the archives of case law will also assist in your understanding of how the various IPRs are applied by the Courts.
