Intellectual Property Rights
Ergrownomics has taken 7 years to fully develop, shifting from a commercial endeavour, and absorbing over 5,000 hours of research and development (in product testing and crop trials). The investment of time and money has been substantial. Given the prevalence of reverse engineering nowadays we’ve taken reasonable precautions to protect our Intellectual Property Rights with the following acquired:

We have mixed feelings regarding holding Intellectual Property Rights and consider it to be something of a necessary evil. We are soil scientists first and foremost with a strong research background, and an ethos that requires our work to be published and placed in the public domain for wider benefit. Although we wouldn’t claim to have published anything earth shattering we’ve made a contribution to land reclamation procedure and practice!
For these reasons we are more than happy for the pictorial and written contents of our website to be used by not-for-profit organisations, subject the information not being copied verbatim, Ergrownomics being fully credited as the source and permission being sought in advance.
