The licence
The SAGE & THYME logo and name are registered trade marks and the SAGE & THYME training materials have copyright protection. These intellectual property rights are owned by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
You need a licence because SAGE & THYME workshops are a finished product. SAGE & THYME training has a specific programme, which is taught in a specific way.
We can keep the consistency and quality of the training high by having a licence to cover how the training is taught.
The licence is a legal agreement (contract) that gives your organisation permission to use the trade mark and copyright when it runs SAGE & THYME workshops, and details what you can and cannot do.
If you want to run SAGE & THYME training, then you need to sign the licence agreement and pay the annual licence fees.
The licence fee pays for the infrastructure that keeps the SAGE & THYME team going so that we can continue to provide training and keep the materials and SAGE & THYME facilitators up to date.
