Survey on Intellectual Property (IP) Theft in Science, Technology, Engineering, Design, and Innovation

Original Minds, Rightful Credit

Thank You for Participating in This Survey

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and insights. Too often, the contributions of researchers, designers, and innovators are miscredited or overlooked, and intellectual property (IP) theft remains an underreported issue. This survey aims to quantify the scale of the problem and understand its impact on careers, funding, and the progression of science, technology, engineering, design, and innovation.

Your responses will help us build a clearer picture of how IP misappropriation affects individuals and the wider research community. The data collected will inform policy recommendations, raise awareness, and contribute to meaningful change.

Participation is open to all professionals in these fields, including postgraduate students, industry experts, academics, and those working in public or private research.

All responses will remain anonymous unless you choose to share your story directly. The survey findings will be published in 2025, and we encourage you to share this with your networks to help us capture as many voices as possible.

Thank you for contributing to this important initiative.
