Ideas
All ideas on this site are in the public domain.
Replication of idea texts in their exact form on this site in publications for commercial use should not occur without prior permission of idea authors. The UnLtd Ideas Bank may occasionally use submitted ideas from others in its own publications to aid their dissemination and promotion.
If you wish to retain intellectual property (or patent) rights to your idea, you will probably not wish to submit it to this website (although our system does keep records of who submitted an idea and when it was submitted, which could provide evidence of 'a priori' thinking). Generally, though, the UIB is for openness, sharing and accessibility, rather than proprietariness. Moreover, ideas, as such, cannot be copyrighted: inventions and products can, but these should not be submitted to the site.
Privacy Policy
The Global Ideas Bank does everything in its power to maintain the privacy of members' details. E-mail addresses are never made public, and you can choose whether or not you want to be contactable as an author or a registered member. Further details on our privacy policy will appear here soon.
