Intellectual Property
We are each responsible for protecting our intellectual property (IP) and the IP of others that we license through the course of our work. In addition, it is our responsibility not to misappropriate the IP owned or controlled by third parties.
How we do it
- We train employees to understand:
- How to recognize IP and our responsibilities for protecting it, including whether it is appropriate to publicly disclose the existence of IP and/or its substance.
- Our responsibilities for protecting IP discovered or used during a fee-for-service arrangement, or a joint collaboration with a third party (e.g., research institution).
- Our responsibilities for protecting tangible Insmed IP such as research samples when sending to a third party for analysis.
- Our responsibilities for approval, timing, and review of any publication that lists you as an author or to which you contributed.
- The process for obtaining and using copyrighted material in your own presentations or, more generally, during the normal course of business.
Did you know?
IP includes data generated by Insmed, inventions (whether or not patentable), discoveries, patents, copyrights and copyrightable material, such as congress publications and marketing materials, trademarks, and trade secrets.
If you have any concerns about risk to Insmed’s IP or the use of third-party IP, or if you are unsure whether something is IP or should be treated as IP, speak up and ask questions. Reach out to our Chief IP Counsel, a member of the Legal department, or InsmedLegal@insmed.com.
