*Intellectual Property: any design that the student creates for this competition will remain solely the student's intellectual property. DIP does NOT take over any intellectual property from students, nor does it attempt to commercialise any student concepts. Please keep in mind that if you become a finalist, your project will be publicised in the press - this may lead to your design becoming prior art and therefore may make it difficult or impossible to patent afterwards. If you feel your design is worth protecting, it is your responsibility to protect the intellectual property before it is publicised the day the ceremony is held.
