Re: Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Survey

Hi Itamar,

I don't know much about the IP laws specifically relating to interaction design in the US, but I might be able to connect with someone who does. I also know a couple of people doing IP internationally. Where are you located, and what countries interest you? Good luck!

Ciao,
Nicky

                 Hello, everyone! My name is Itamar, and I'm doing some research on
 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for my dissertation, and I really
 could use some help!
 
 So, if you could, please, take a minute of your time to help me
 collect some information about issues involving IPR, specially
 regarding the INTERACTION DESIGN PROCESS in different countries, I
 would really appreciate it:
 
 1- Does your company/office have any specific practice to protect
 (IPR), including Copyright, Design Right, Design Registration,
 Patents?
 
 2- If YES, how does your company/office disseminate such practices?
 (eg. Training? Employee Hand Book?)
 
 3- Are you familiar with how such practices are regulated in your
 country? (eg. Legislation? Contracts?)
 
 4- What kind of impact such practices have in the routines you perform
 throughout the design process?
 
 5- Was there ever any issue involving IPR on any project you were
 involved in?
 
 6- Does your company/office distribute the design process across teams
 located in different countries?
 
 7- If YES, are you aware of how does your company/office IPR are
 affected by the legislation/practices in those countries?
 
 If you ever come across examples of legislation/contracts that
 specific dictates on IPR, I would really appreciate if you could share
 those with me.
 
 Thanks in advance for any help,
