The Make it in Design team are thrilled to announce that our very own Rachael Taylor is delighted to join the ACID Advisory Council.
Anti-Copying in Design (ACID) is a UK-based organisation which offers practical advice and specialist support to help you understand and manage your intellectual property. ACID also offers a comprehensive range of ACID membership benefits to assist you in protecting and commercialising your designs and products.
ACID is the only cross industry trade association for designers specifically dealing with intellectual property. Created by designers for designers, ACID understands your needs, so become part of the ACID Community now and start making your designs work for you.
“ACID has reached a critical time in its growth and in 2016 our primary objective was to create an ACID Advisory Council, composed of ACID members, advocates, legal affiliates and ACID representatives. We sought applications from within membership to be part of this next exciting phase and invited members, who had shown particular interest in ACID’s aims and objectives, to become part of an Advisory Council.
The new Council will provide strategic guidance in line with ACID’s mission, vision and objectives to ensure ACID’s position, as one of the leading voices for design and intellectual property in the UK, continues to grow and gain traction within IP policy making. We are determined that the credentials of ACID are maintained whilst seeking ways in which ACID broadens its remit to protect intellectual property more effectively and achieve growth for its members and the broader design community”.
The Council will meet bi-annually and the first meeting is scheduled for the 26th May 2016 following which Rachael will report back on some important issues facing the design community. Find out more about ACID and the Advisory Council here.
ACID’s CEO Dids Macdonald, said: “Having talented designer Rachael Taylor on board our ACID Advisory Council is a total plus! She speaks the same language as many thousands of micro and small design-led businesses who are committed to producing and protecting original design. Rachael will be a champion in our mission for ACID to shout more loudly about the need for respect and ethics where intellectual property is concerned!”
