Simon, This is something ANAT has been dealing with the past couple of years in relation to our art/sci residency programs. Whilst not strictly creative arts only, collaborations between artists and science/research institutions throw up all sorts of challenges around IP for exactly the reasons you mention: generally artists own their IP, generally institutions own their employees IP.. For this reason, it generally takes 2-3 months of liaising before we can lock off contracting for each residency and this usually entails joint ownership. Cheers Vicki
