Intellectual Property

Ipswich Makerspace thrives on the interaction of its Members. The free exchange of ideas, improvements, techniques, and processes is a fundamental benefit of the Ipswich Makerspace community. Protection of intellectual property rights (of our members, of our community, and of other persons) is also an important feature of any operation. Each member understands that it is his/her own decision whether to divulge any information regarding a member’s ideas, designs, processes, and the like and that each member does so, or does not do so, voluntarily. Each member is responsible for the protection of their own intellectual property of whatever nature, and each member agrees that Ipswich Makerspace has no responsibility to protect any members’ intellectual property and no liability with respect to any member’s intellectual property.

Each member agrees that while at Ipswich Makerspace or using any of Ipswich Makerspace’s resources they will not knowingly infringe any intellectual property rights of another member or any third party, and if advised that any member activity does infringe any such rights the member will immediately cease the infringing activity. No equipment, space, computers, or other resources of Ipswich Makerspace will be used in any way to infringe the intellectual property rights of others (including, specifically, the counterfeiting or duplication of any third-party’s products or designs).
