IPR in One Slide
• Are you the owner?
• If not, get permission
• Or use statutory
exception

Your Questions - 1
• I realise that a copyright agreement can only be made in writing and not verbally... however in low risk cases is it possible to accept an emailed agreement rather than a signed hard copy?
![Page 13: OER, IPR and the Law JISC Legal](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062708/558bcbbed8b42aab638b468f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Your Questions - 2
• When a copyright owner has given permission to use an image, and the appropriate CC licence agreed by both parties, is it recommended to record this within the XMP image tags? If so, any advice on what is considered the best method of doing so?
![Page 14: OER, IPR and the Law JISC Legal](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062708/558bcbbed8b42aab638b468f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Your Questions - 3
• One of the main copyright clearance issues that worry my partners is 'diagrams' or 'drawings' representing 'facts' or 'research'. Ideas and facts are not copyrightable, but of course the 'diagram' or 'drawing' is. But what about the ‘research' behind the diagram? How much can you re-draw or re-present the 'facts' to get around getting clearance to use the material?

Your Questions - 4
• Some images on Flickr were CC licensed, but then changed to “(c) all rights reserved”. Without a version control system does the new licence automatically apply retrospectively? I assume the stated licence at the time applies, the new licence only applies since it was changed. Actually the real question is to whom goes the burden of proof?

Your Questions - 5
• Has anyone done any work on developing or using a common IPR clearance pro-forma for an OER contributor in their institution?

Your Questions - 6
• If you have used third party materials available under CC or other 'open' licence types, what happens if:a) the licence is incorrect or wrongly/falsely applied; orb) the licence changes after release as OER? Should this be covered by a notice and take down policy? Does every project require such a policy?
