The Western Australian Government Intellectual Property Policy (WA Government IP Policy) is being reviewed. Intellectual property (IP) can include artwork, inventions, written work and software.

This fact sheet contains proposals on ways to share benefits when IP is successfully commercialised and how to reward public sector employees who contribute to developing IP. This document provides a summary of sections 4.4 and 4.5 of the Discussion Paper for the review.

You can provide feedback on the proposals to help us to develop an updated best practice IP policy to create benefits for Western Australia.
