Librarian RDM Training: Ethics and copyright for research dataRobin Rice
This document provides an overview of ethics and copyright as they relate to research data management. It discusses ethical requirements for collecting human subject data, including obtaining consent and protecting privacy and confidentiality. Certain types of research may be exempt from ethics review. Intellectual property rights can apply to research data depending on the level of creativity in the data's collection and organization. Data licensing is an alternative to asserting copyright that allows explicitly defining how data can be used.
This document discusses several legal restraints that can impact media companies, including defamation laws, equality laws, privacy laws, data protection acts, freedom of information acts, intellectual property laws, and copyright laws. Defamation laws make it illegal to publish false statements that damage someone's reputation, while equality laws protect individuals from discrimination. Privacy laws govern how personal information can be collected and used, and data protection acts establish rules for handling data. Freedom of information acts enable public access to government-held information. Intellectual property laws protect original creative works, and copyright laws specifically protect works of authorship. A case study describes a design firm suing Target for allegedly copying and using their dog sketches without permission, in violation of
Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind such as inventions, artistic works, and symbols. These creations have exclusive recognized rights, though they are often called property rights as they have similar characteristics. Primary types of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, and trade secrets. The 2001 Napster case found Napster liable for copyright infringement as its file sharing system allowed users to share music files without permission. It is important to protect intellectual property from theft, loss of reputation, and loss of income.

Patentability Search or Patent Novelty Search by U.S. Patent Attorney Trained Patent Expert. The patent expert will take into account international patent classification (IPC) and USPC to identify the patent results. The patent researchers can also perform patent Invalidity , patent Landscaping, Freedom-To-Operate, and Invalidity Search.
For an invention to get a patent the potential invention must be new, useful, and non-obvious. A Patentability Search, called a Patent Novelty Search or simply a Novelty Search, is a search of prior art (the body of pre-existing knowledge) conducted on behalf of a potential patent applicant.
This document provides an overview of practical approaches for patent searching. It discusses the various parts of a patent document that are searchable fields, including the specifications, claims, abstract, drawings, and front page. It also covers understanding patent families, the searchable fields available on different patent platforms, formulating the objective or question to ask of the patent data, and who is best positioned to perform different types of patent searches. Additionally, the document discusses challenges like classification systems not being fully up-to-date, keywords being used in abstract ways in patents, and mistakes commonly found in patents. It emphasizes that patent searching is an iterative process involving continuous refinement of searches.
This document summarizes a presentation on intellectual property given on October 6, 2015 at Fairfield University by Jonathan Winter.

CILIP Copyright Conference - Prof Melissa Terras - University of EdinburghCILIP
Keynote: Who's afraid of the copyright wolf: research, access and respect
Much of the digitisation landscape is dictated by copyright, particularly for 20th century content. For researchers, this can create complex barriers to access to either individual collections item, or aggregated collections data, that are often confusing to navigate. For researchers working in the Digital Humanities, access to materials can dictate project direction, or the questions that can be asked via digital methods. In this talk, Terras will reflect on how copyright has shaped her research projects - and also, how the perceived boundaries of copyright affect the research environment. The fear of copyright affects both researchers and institutions: Terras asks if the framing of forceful copyright restrictions can also be replaced with stressing the contribution institutions make to safeguarding and stewarding collections for ongoing research access.

Ai and applications in the legal domain studium generale maastricht 20191101jcscholtes
November 20, 2019, it was my great pleasure to present a special lecture on Artificial Intelligence and Application in the Legal Domain. In this lecture I discuss how the development of machines that can learn, reason and act intelligently – Artificial Intelligence (AI) – is advancing rapidly in the legal domain. In some areas, machine intelligence have even already surpassed the limits of what the brightest human minds are capable of achieving, especially in the field of eDiscovery and Legal Review of large data set.
In others, machines still struggle with seemingly basic tasks. Nonetheless, breakthroughs in AI already have profound impact on the legal profession. AI is set to improve our world now and will continue to do so in the future. At the same time, there is the fear of losing control.
This lecture was part of a larger series on AI organized by our department of data science and knowledge engineering: https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/events/artificial-intelligence.
