Your mind is a brilliant place, when you bring your ideas to life and create or design something you have intellectual property (IP) rights. IP rights can apply to logos, inventions, designs or artistic works, or a new plant variety. 

​

Learn how you can apply IP to your work, helping not just protect your ideas, but to turn these ideas into commercial value. 

​

You don’t need to wait until you have the perfect idea to explore IP. Whether you’re just starting out, refining an idea or already well progressed, IP Australia’s free resources can help you understand the basics of IP, build good IP habits, understand how ownership works, and safeguard your ideas, designs and concepts. 

​

Even the smallest steps, like labelling your logo with a trade mark TM or using a free Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA), can make a big difference for young designers!
 
UpRising has put this page together in collaboration with IP Australia, to help you explore how the benefits of IP can drive your creative design career.
