Intellectual property refers to creations of the human intellect such as inventions, books, photos and music. There are four main types of intellectual property: copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret. Copyright protects creative works and allows the owner to control reproduction and distribution. A patent protects inventive ideas and processes. A trademark protects words and symbols associated with a business. Trade secrets protect confidential business information. Intellectual property owners face challenges of high-quality copying and widespread distribution online. Fair use and fair dealing laws allow limited use of copyrighted works for purposes such as research and review without permission. Technology impacts intellectual property through easy copying and sharing of digital files.

Copyright vs Patent

7. • Trademark
A trademark is unlike a patent in that it protects words, phrases, symbols, sounds,
smells and color schemes. It protects work that you create to represent your business.
Trademarks are often considered assets that describe or otherwise identify the source of
underlying products or services that a company provides.
• Patent
Patent is a category of protection which protects inventive ideas and processes. Patents
are also used to protect newly engineered plant species or strains.

8. • Types of patents
There are three types of patents:
 Utility (for a process or machine)
 Design (original graphical representations)
 Plant (as in flora and fauna)
• Trade secret
Trade secrets are proprietary procedures, systems, devices, formulas, strategies
or other information that is confidential and exclusive to the company using
them. They act as competitive advantages for the business. It protects special
formulas, programs, or techniques you develop that are your own.

9. Problems of Intellectual Property Owners
 High-quality copying
 High-quantity distribution
 Faster / easier copying
 Less expensive
What is fair dealing?
• Fair dealing is a part of the Copyright Act, and allows for the reproduction
of copyrighted works for certain purposes without getting permission or
paying a fee. Some of the purposes for which fair dealing is allowed
include research, education, criticism, review and news reporting.

10. Fair dealing
• Six Factors of Fair dealing:
 Purpose of the Dealing
 Character of the Dealing
 Amount of the Dealing
 Alternatives to the Dealing
 Nature of the Work
 Effect of Dealing on the Work
• Purpose of the Dealing
This must be for one of the categories of fair dealing outlined in the Act.
These are research, private study, news reporting, criticism, review,
education, parody and satire.

11. • Character of the Dealing
This may include how many copies were made, and how or if the work was
distributed (to a large or small group, for example).
• Amount of the Dealing
This includes qualitative as well as quantitative measures. For example, it may
be necessary to deal with a whole work, such as reproducing an entire
photograph, in order to critique it; however, it is unlikely that it would be
necessary to reprint most of a book for the same purpose. If the amount taken
from a work is small no analysis is required, since the Act only protects a
'substantial' use of the work.

12. • Alternatives to the Dealing
If there is an equivalent non-protected work that could have been used instead
of the copyrighted work, the dealing can be said to be less fair. The question
when considering alternatives is whether the dealing is reasonably necessary
to achieve the purpose.
• Nature of the Work
This examines such factors as the publication status of the work.
• Effect of Dealing on the Work
If the reproduced work is likely to compete with the sales of the original
work, the dealing will tend to be less fair.

13. Protect Your Intellectual Property
 To protect your IP from being compromised on the inside you can take
the following steps:
 Ensure that information security plans include policies on the proper
protection of IP.
 Establish procedures to ensure cloud storage security, train anyone
setting up storage in the cloud on these procedures, and monitor
adherence.
 Have employees acknowledge IP agreements by regularly re-signing,
especially when leaving the organization.
 Use monitoring software to watch actions taken on IP data, including
file transfer tracking and email transfer.

14. Role/Impact of Technology
 The ease of copying digitized material and it is a “perfect” copy
 Inexpensive digital storage media; such as DVDs, memory sticks, and flash drives
 Compression formats that make music and movie files small enough to download,
copy, and store
 Search engines make it easy to find material
 Peer-to-peer technology allows easy transfer of files over the Internet
 High speed Internet make transfers quick and easy
 Smaller cameras and other equipment that enable audience members to record
and transmit media events
• Software allows amateurs to create new works using the works of others
• When looking on YouTube for songs you may see a “cover” of a song, or music
of another used in a video
• With the power of technology, we can all publish our works; such as blogs and
pictures. Also allowing us to copy, which then infringes copyrights
