IP, copyright and portrait rights in images: Use of Photographs of Buildings, Interiors and Works of Art
During this seminar, we will delve deeper into the complex issues surrounding intellectual property and the use of photographs, particularly those of buildings/interiors and works of art. We plan an interactive session in which we will explore together the do's and don'ts regarding the use of photographs for research projects.

Research seminar IP, copyright and portrait rights in images
- copyright: Who should you, as a researcher, ask permission to use photos in publications? Is there a difference between use for research purposes and broad use (e.g. publication on a website)? What about public buildings? In what way should this permission be sought? What rights do photographers have regarding their photographs of buildings? And as a researcher, what right do I have over my own photographs?
- Portrait rights: To whom should you, as a researcher, ask permission for portraying people in photographs? What about situations where people are accidentally captured as part of a photograph of a building? What about events?
- Some templates of informed consents were prepared and will also be explained.
