We are proud to announce that the Diploma in Intellectual Property and Collections course (DipIPC) will run again this year from 13-15 June 2016 in London. The course covers everything from copyright and its enforcement to morals rights and IP management for museums. The course is open to all museum and art world professionals, requiring no pre-existing knowledge of the law.

The course will be led by IAL Assistant Director Alexander Herman and IAL Senior Researcher Emily Gould, who will be supported by guest lecturers on specific topics. The course fee is £590 + VAT. It is eligible for CPD points.

Sessions will include:

• Copyright subsistence and artistic works: What is “art”? What is copyright?

• Fair dealing, fair use and other exceptions to copyright infringement
