ACID launches student membership rate

In celebration of British IP Day (Tuesday 5 July), Anti Copying in Design (ACID) has today launched a special membership rate for students who want to protect their intellectual property.

ACID has slashed its membership to offer students access to tips, guidance and advice about all aspects of intellectual property and also access to some of the valuable IP benefits such as the Copyright & Design Databank – a safe way to lodge designs for a few pence.

The Alliance for IP is celebrating #BritishIPDay this year with their “Meet Your MP” initiative together with the announcement of the 2nd IP Champion Award  Last year Anti Copying in Design (ACID) was honoured to be the first ever British IP Champion!

ACID CEO Dids Macdonald OBE said: “UK design punches well above its weight contributing a massive £71.4b to the UK’s GVA. Sadly, however, there are many who seek a fast track to market through blatant design infringement. It is imperative that the future of tomorrow’s designers is secured through tough enforcement measures. However, a great first step is to create a proactive IP strategy!”
