How do I protect my intellectual property rights when developing educational materials in Australia?

For educational materials, secure copyrights for texts, illustrations, and multimedia content. Ensure that the content creators (be it writers, illustrators, or videographers) transfer IP rights to your entity or clearly define usage rights. Use watermarks or digital rights management tools for digital materials. Include clear copyright notices on all publications. When partnering with external entities, have detailed agreements highlighting IP ownership. Should any unauthorized usage or copying occur, engage with our IP legal team for enforcement and protection.
