Summary of Service

The MusicFutures IP Clinic and Lab supports music makers and music-related businesses by providing accessible, expert guidance in intellectual property and contracts. By lowering barriers to legal and strategic IP guidance, the clinic supports more equitable participation in music innovation and creativity, particularly for independent artists and small enterprises. It helps creators and businesses understand and protect their rights, enabling them to commercialise their work confidently while reducing the risk of infringement or loss of ownership. The MusicFutures IP Clinic is a free, non-contentious service, meaning we focus on prevention and understanding rather than dispute resolution. We’re here to equip our clients with knowledge before problems arise. Rooted in the Liverpool City Region’s strong cultural identity and music economy, the clinic strengthens connections between academia, industry and local talent, improving IP literacy and helping drive inclusive economic growth.
