All interviewees and focus group participants will sign a Consent form agreed to by the School ethics committee. We have guaranteed anonymity to our interviewees and focus group participants. Therefore we will not be depositing .wav files as this would compromise that guarantee. However, anonymised transcripts of the interviews and focus groups will be deposited. We will make sure consent forms make provision for future sharing of data. All identifying information will be kept in a locked filing cabinet and not stored with electronic files.
2.3 How will you handle copyright and Intellectual Property Rights issues?
Questions you might want to consider:
- Who will be the owner of the data?
- Which licenses will be applied to the data?
- What restrictions apply to the reuse of third-party data?
Outline the owners of the copyright and Intellectual Property Right (IPR) of all data that will be collected and generated including the licence(s). For consortia, an IPR ownership agreement might be necessary. You should comply with relevant funder, institutional, departmental or group policies on copyright or IPR. Furthermore, clarify what permissions are required should third-party data be re-used. (This relates to the FAIR Data Principles I3 & R1.1)
Examples of answer
The research is not expected to lead to patents. IPR issues will be dealt with in line with University of Glasgow policy and necessary guidance will be sought from the IPR and Commercialisation Team.

This project is being carried out in collaboration with an industrial partner. The intellectual property rights are set out in the collaboration agreement. The intellectual property generated from this project will be fully exploited with help from the University of Glasgow's IP and Commercialisation Office. The aim is to patent the final procedure and then publish the work in a research journal.
