Background Own-it North is a pilot project which will test the potential for a longer term service and has been adapted from the existing London based service. Own-it, Intellectual Property Advice for Creative Businesses, was originally devised by the London Development Agency as a result of research undertaken by the Mayor's Creative Industries Commission and the University of the Arts, London who now deliver and manage the initiative. Own-it was launched in September 2004. Own-it North represents a development of existing work and projects conducted by the Northern Edge group of universities working closely with the creative and digital industries and draws upon research conducted by Skillset and the Northern Edge into the needs of the sector.
