Third Party Data are existing datasets owned by someone else. These could be datasets created and owned by other researchers or organisations.
The IPR for data derived from third-party sources will likely belong to third parties, not to the researcher using the data.
Researchers must adhere to any licencing restrictions related to the use of the data. Licensing terms will in many cases (for example, commercially available data or NHS data) prevent onward sharing of the data.
Licencing terms should be carefully reviewed (with the support of Legal Services) before committing BU to them. This is to ensure compatibility with BU's position as a university and charity.
