HSE ANNOUNCES INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY FOR RESEARCH
Report with thanks to
the HSE
THE Health and Safety Executive published a new policy on Intellectual Property Rights arising from its research activity. The new policy means that in most cases the intellectual property rights in research done for HSE will remain with the suppliers or contractors rather than HSE.
The document sets out how HSE will apply its new policy and explains how it will promote the exploitation of the intellectual property. Generated as a result of the research activity funds in pursuing its mission to ensure that risks to people’s health and safety from work activities are properly controlled.
Dr Paul Davies, HSE’s Chief Scientist and Corporate Science and Analytical Services Director said,
“In future, except where specific exemptions apply, the ownership of intellectual property and the associated responsibility for commercial exploitation will be vested in the organisations that undertake the research rather than remain with HSE.”

RAT PACK
AN evening of nostalgia on April 27 looks set to see the return of Frank Sinatra and plenty of old memories in the guise of Stephen Triffit accompanied by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.
Triffit, best known for his portrayal of ole blue eyes in ‘Sammy and Dean – The Rat Pack Live from Las Vegas’, for which he received resounding critical acclaim upon his last visit to Liverpool. He is no stranger to performing Sinatra favourites such as ‘Fly me to the moon’ and ‘My Way’ as for the past two years his American dates in Atlantic city and Las Vegas have won him many loyal fans.
The event is considered to be a unique performance for one night only as the support of the genius of Nelson Riddle in the form of his protégé son Christopher remain true to his fathers traditions.
