include standards relating to rights, such as the right to
life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to
privacy.
• Such standards are adequate standards of ethics
because they are supported by consistent and well-
founded reasons.

• POINTSTO PONDER:
• Ethical issues are sometimes legal issues.
• Question: Are all legal issues =moral/ ethical?
• Legal issues can be solved by laws, Ethical
issues cannot.
E.g. HONESTY,TRANSPARENCY, OR
INTEGRITY in eLearning
- Parents/ guardians helping in the quiz: is this
honesty?
- Calls for a moral choice and reasoning

LEONILO CAPULSO

• The legal and ethical issues in eLearning
platforms are similar to traditional or face-
to-face education, or traditional teacher-
learner relationship.
• Difference: mode of discovery of some ethical issues
or certain violations
• E.g. CHEATING
• Its easier to identify cheating in face to face learning.
• How do you detect cheating online/distance learning?
• Psychological distance: rampant cheating in
distance/online learning?
• AREWE ALLOWING IT?

• Intellectual Property Code (R.A. 8293)
• Intellectual properties or creative
properties, are similar to material
properties in the sense that there is an
owner and a user.

6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• IP is protected in law by, for example,
patents, copyright and trademarks,
which enable people to earn
recognition or financial benefit from
what they invent or create.
• By striking the right balance between
the interests of innovators and the
wider public interest, the IP system
aims to foster an environment in
which creativity and innovation can
flourish
Intellectual
Property?

LEONILO CAPULSO

• a legal term used to describe the
rights that creators have over
their literary and artistic works.
• Works covered by copyright range
from books, music, paintings,
sculpture, and films, to computer
programs, databases,
advertisements, maps, and
technical drawings.

LEONILO CAPULSO

• Works commonly protected by copyright throughout the
world include:
• literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference
works, newspaper articles;
• computer programs, databases;
• films, musical compositions, and choreography;
• artistic works such as paintings, drawings,
photographs, and sculpture;

• Copyright protection extends only to expressions, and not
to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or
mathematical concepts as such.
• Copyright may or may not be available for a number of
objects such as titles, slogans, or logos, depending on
whether they contain sufficient authorship.
What can be
protected using
copyright?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• There are two types of rights under copyright:
• economic rights, which allow the rights owner to
derive financial reward from the use of their works by
others; and
• moral rights, which protect the non-economic
interests of the author.
• Most copyright laws state that the rights owner has the
economic right to authorize or prevent certain uses in
relation to a work or, in some cases, to receive
remuneration for the use of their work (such as
through collective management).The economic rights
owner of a work can prohibit or authorize:
• its reproduction in various forms, such as printed
publication or sound recording;

musical work;
• its recording, for example, in the form of
compact discs or DVDs;
• its broadcasting, by radio, cable or satellite;
• its translation into other languages; and
• its adaptation, such as a novel into a film
screenplay.
• Examples of widely recognized moral rights
include the right to claim authorship of a
work and the right to oppose changes to a
work that could harm the creator's
reputation.

6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

Can I register copyright?
• Most countries nonetheless have a system in place to
allow for the voluntary registration of works.
• Such voluntary registration systems can help solve
disputes over ownership or creation, as well as
facilitate financial transactions, sales, and the
assignment and/or transfer of rights.
In the majority of
countries, and
according to the Berne
Convention, copyright
protection is obtained
automatically without
the need for
registration or other
formalities.

LEONILO CAPULSO

• an exclusive right granted for an
invention, which is a product or a
process that provides, in general, a new
way of doing something, or offers a
new technical solution to a problem.
• To get a patent, technical information
about the invention must be
disclosed to the public in a patent
application.
Patents
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• In principle, the patent owner has
the exclusive right to prevent or
stop others from commercially
exploiting the patented invention.
• Patent protection means that the
invention cannot be commercially
made, used, distributed, imported
or sold by others without the
patent owner's consent.
What kind of
protection
does a patent
offer?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• Patents are territorial rights.
• In general, the exclusive rights
are only applicable in the
country or region in which a
patent has been filed and
granted, in accordance with the
law of that country or region.
Is a patent
valid in every
country?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

property rights.
Trademarks
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• At the national/regional level,
trademark protection can be
obtained through registration, by
filing an application for registration
with the national/regional trademark
office and paying the required fees.
• At the INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, you have two
options: either you can file a trademark
application with the trademark office of each
country in which you are seeking protection, or
you can useWIPO’s Madrid System.
How can I
protect my
trademark?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• In principle, a trademark registration will
confer an exclusive right to the use of
the registered trademark.
• This implies that the trademark can be
exclusively used by its owner, or
licensed to another party for use in
return for payment.
• Registration provides legal certainty and
reinforces the position of the right holder, for
example, in case of litigation.
What rights does
trademark
registration
provide?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• The term of trademark registration can
vary, but is usually ten years.
• It can be renewed indefinitely on
payment of additional fees.Trademark
rights are private rights and protection
is enforced through court orders.
How long
does
trademark
protection
last?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• A word or a combination of words, letters,
and numerals can perfectly constitute a
trademark.
• But trademarks may also consist of drawings,
symbols, three-dimensional features such as
the shape and packaging of goods, non-visible
signs such as sounds or fragrances, or color
shades used as distinguishing features – the
possibilities are almost limitless.
What kinds
of trademark
can be
registered?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• What is a trade secret?
• Trade secrets are intellectual property (IP) rights on
confidential information which may be sold or licensed.
• In general, to qualify as a trade secret, the information
must be:
• commercially valuable because it is secret,
• be known only to a limited group of persons, and
• be subject to reasonable steps taken by the rightful
holder of the information to keep it secret, including
the use of confidentiality agreements for business
partners and employees.
• The unauthorized acquisition, use or disclosure of such
secret information in a manner contrary to honest
commercial practices by others is regarded as an unfair
practice and a violation of the trade secret protection.
Trade
Secrets
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• any confidential business information
which provides an enterprise a
competitive edge and is unknown to
others may be protected as a trade
secret.
• encompass both technical information, such
as information concerning manufacturing
processes, pharmaceutical test data, designs
and drawings of computer programs,
and commercial information, such as
distribution methods, list of suppliers and
clients, and advertising strategies.

trade secrets?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• made up of a combination of
elements, each of which by itself is in
the public domain, but where the
combination, which is kept secret,
provides a competitive advantage.
• Other examples of information that
may be protected by trade secrets
include financial information,
formulas and recipes and source
codes.
What kind of
information is
protected by
trade secrets?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• the legal protection of trade secrets
forms part of the general concept of
protection against unfair
competition or is based on specific
provisions or case law on the
protection of confidential
information.
• unfair practices in respect of secret
information include industrial or
commercial espionage, breach of
contract and breach of confidence.
What kind of
protection does a
trade secret
offer?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• A trade secret owner, however, cannot
stop others from using the same
technical or commercial information, if
they acquired or developed such
information independently by
themselves through their own R&D,
reverse engineering or marketing
analysis, etc.
• Since trade secrets are not made
public, unlike patents, they do not
provide “defensive” protection, as
being prior art.
What kind of
protection does a
trade secret
offer?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• the owner
• the user,
• and the public.
• But the intention of the law is for the protection of the
owner of the property.
• In cases of violations, the one punished by the law is
the user, and the public who eventually becomes the
user too.

IPs
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• NO! But sometimes,Yes!
• Permission must be granted
before using the copyright
work.
• There is a difference between
acknowledging the
author/owner and obtaining
permission.

LEONILO CAPULSO

• THE FOUR FACTORS
1. The purpose and character of
your use (TRANSFORMATIVE)
2. The nature of the copyrighted
work
3. The amount and substantiality of
the portion taken, and
4. The effect of the use upon the
potential market.
FAIR USE
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• Purposes such as scholarship,
research, or education may
also qualify as transformative
uses because the work is the
subject of review or
commentary.
THE PURPOSE
AND
CHARACTER OF
YOUR USE
(TRANSFORMATIVE)
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• Because the dissemination of
facts or information benefits the
public, you have more leeway to
copy from factual works such as
biographies than you do from
fictional works such as plays or
novels.
THE NATURE
OF THE
COPYRIGHTED
WORK
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• The less you take, the more likely
that your copying will be excused as a
fair use.
• However, even if you take a small
portion of a work, your copying will not
be a fair use if the portion taken is the
“heart” of the work.
• In other words, you are more likely to
run into problems if you take the most
memorable aspect of a work.
THE AMOUNT AND
SUBSTANTIALITY
OF THE PORTION
TAKEN
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• The use deprives the copyright owner
of income or undermines a new or
potential market for the copyrighted
work.
• Depriving a copyright owner of income is
very likely to trigger a lawsuit. This is
true even if you are not competing
directly with the original work.

OF THE USE
UPON THE
POTENTIAL
MARKET.

• For comment
• For news
• For reporting
• For teaching, including multiple
copies for classroom use
• Scholarship research and similar
purposes.
FAIR USE
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• The most common type of intellectual
property dispute is that
of infringement.This is
where intellectual property is used or
appropriated without the owner's
permission by
another. Infringement can apply to
many categories of intellectual
property.

copyright law is about?
ü Does the course have the permission for students to
post anything on the web?
ü How do we design a course that educates our learners
about copyright or intellectual rights law for us
to help them avoid legal risks?
ü How are we going to design a course that tells students
that before they can post somebody else’s picture or
project or anything to form part of their assignment
must have permission from the author?
GUIDE
QUESTIONS
WITH
STUDENTS:
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

WHO OWNSTHE COPYRIGHT?
• (R.A. 8293, Section 178 (3))
• The employee, if the creation of the object of
copyright is not a part of his regular duties,
even if the employee uses the time, facilities,
and materials of the employer.
• The employer, if the work is the result of the
performance of his regularly-assigned duties,
unless there is an agreement, express or
implied, to the contrary.
– Module creation issue. Is it a part of our
regularly assigned duties?The answer is no.
Why? Because, it is not part of our regularly-
assigned duty which is teaching.
(PURAMARYVER F. SAQUING)
I wrote
modules, who
owns it?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• A: Professors may not claim ownership to
the students’ creation even if submitted to
the custody of the professors.
• This has to be emphasized because there are
cases of professors who appropriate the theses
of their students and claim them as theirs.
• Note: Copyright is protected from the
moment of their creation not from the
moment of their registration.
What is the difference between copyright
ownership and ownership of the copyrighted
material? (Section 178 (4) of RA 8293)
Can I own
project/rese
arch output
passed by
my student?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• Copyright ownership is separate from
owning the physical object/work. Just
because you physically own an item
does not mean you will own the
copyright in the item.
• An author or creator may sell you their
work but they will retain the ownership
of the copyright.
• The creator will still have to reproduce,
publish or communicate the work, as
well as grant those rights to other
people over the property that you own.
Can I own
project/rese
arch output
passed by
my student?
6/21/21
LEONILO CAPULSO

• A: It is also copyright infringement issue.
• To avoid plagiarism issues, and if the matter
is under fair use, it is enough that you
recognize the author.
• It becomes copyright infringement when you appropriate
the content as your own by not recognizing the author.
• copyright infringement is done online:
violation of cybercrime law, the penalty of
which is higher than the ordinary copyright violation
• (Sec 6 of Cybercrime Act says all crimes defined and
penalized under special laws and RPC).

content.
• And with malware and viruses proliferating, students
must learn to watch what they download, click and
share.
• Finally, before you post something online you need to
think of it many times if it’s appropriate or not. It’s
okay to express your thoughts on social media but
think first if it is going to be offensive to others. Your
freedom ends when the freedom of another begins.

• IMMANUEL KANT : if there is no God then
there are objective moral requirements
that are not possibly met, namely, that
the moral good of virtue and the natural
good of happiness embrace and become
perfect in a “highest good.”
• Moral obligation : appeal to the commands of a loving
God, and moral (ethical) values, in general, maybe
thought to reflect God’s nature thus to act ethically in
one’s online education is likewise one’s personal faith
response to God’s call for holiness. An objective
moral law requires an infinite Mind in which
to reside if it is to have full ontological
status.
