Background
Much uncertainty surrounding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), liabilities and freedom of action using resources in:
Education
Medicine and healthcare
The digital world as a whole – the non-rivalrous challenge
Although confusing there are ways to prepare and protect both altruistic and commercial concepts for a greater social good
Definitions
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) - temporary grants of monopoly intended to give economic incentives for innovative activity. IPR exist in several forms and includes patents, copyrights, and trademarks
Copyright “the right to copy” - provides creator of original work with the exclusive rights for limited time-prevents others from copying, adapting, distributing, broadcasting, renting and selling
Access rights - the privileges that are granted to a user. A form of license with clear definitions of what is permitted
Consent - formal range of permissions from the subject expressed in a written document
