This document summarizes key aspects of copyright law as it relates to libraries. It defines intellectual property and the four types: patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyright. It examines US copyright law, including the Copyright Acts of 1790, 1909, and 1976. It discusses relevant sections for libraries, such as fair use (Section 107) and library exceptions (Section 108). It also covers issues like orphan works, works whose copyright owners can't be identified, and the shrinking public domain due to copyright term extensions. The conclusion is that librarians must stay up-to-date on copyright laws to avoid violations when providing resources to patrons.
ODI Queensland - Open Data Essentials - Law and LicensingAusGOAL
This presentation was conducted for ODI Queensland by Baden Appleyard. It examines the law and licensing issues associated with open data, in particular from a Queensland perspective. It was presented on 21 October 2015. Links to further resources exist within the presentation.
Copyright law protects creative works and grants exclusive rights to the copyright owner including reproduction, distribution, adaptations, and performance/display rights. Copyright protection is secured for limited times to promote progress, though registration is not required. Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like education without permission. Recent acts have extended copyright term and increased protections for digital works, though criticism argues this may hinder new creativity and access to knowledge.
The Importance of Good Plumbing for Collaborative Research Data ARDC
The document discusses copyright and licensing issues related to research data. It provides an overview of relevant court cases that established whether copyright can subsist in factual compilations and databases. It recommends applying an open license like Creative Commons to publicly funded research data to enable broad reuse. It also addresses questions around copyright in data and considers the relationship between licensing and copyright to manage sharing rights.
Copyright or Copy left by manoranjan, glc, tvpmAdvocate
The document discusses copyright and open source software. It notes that copyrighted or proprietary software restricts modifications and distribution of source code, while open source software allows users freedoms to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve through licenses like copyleft. Copyleft uses copyright to guarantee these freedoms by requiring distributions of derived works be licensed under the same terms. The document discusses advantages of open source like lower costs, accessibility of source code, and ongoing improvements, but also notes potential disadvantages like lack of support and incongruent license terms. It examines legal cases around open source licenses and concludes the future favors open source as more organizations adopt it.
Many of us work in open source projects without really understanding all the details about open source licensing and how intellectual property should be managed. In this session we will talk what it means to be open source, what "copyleft" means, how a few of the major open source licenses work, how to handle copyright ownership, and what contributor agreements do.

The CREATE Act -- As viewed from the Ivory Towers and from the TrenchesKevin E. Flynn
The CREATE Act aims to promote collaborative research by allowing research partners to share confidential information without risk of creating prior art that could bar patentability of their joint inventions. However, the CREATE Act has had limited effect so far. While intended to benefit collaborations, its requirements of disclosing partner names and the research field introduce confidentiality issues. It also does not address challenges in determining inventorship dates and scope of the research agreement. From a practical perspective, the CREATE Act is best viewed as a fallback protection rather than an initial strategy during prosecution due to its requirements and risks of other rejections. Overall, the CREATE Act provides some safeguards for collaborative research but confidentiality concerns and procedural challenges have limited its impact to date.

Major challenges include information dissemination in the digital age and disputes between countries like India and the US over IPR issues.
IP in the Bargain Bin SBOT IP June 2012 paperWei Wei Jeang
This document discusses common misconceptions about do-it-yourself intellectual property protection for startups. It addresses questions about patenting ideas, trademarks, and copyright. For patents, merely mailing yourself a letter or signing a confidentiality agreement does not constitute legal protection. Ideas must meet patentability standards of being novel, non-obvious and useful. Public use or sale of an invention, even if details are not visible, can invalidate later patent applications. Proper intellectual property protection requires understanding applicable laws and working with specialized attorneys.
- The document discusses the patent law requirements of utility, novelty, and non-obviousness. It focuses on defining obviousness and the Graham analysis used to determine obviousness.
- It provides examples of how to overcome an obviousness rejection, such as by demonstrating commercial success, long-felt need, or failure of others. It advises keeping a thorough inventor's notebook.
- Recent court cases like KSR v. Teleflex and proposed patent reform legislation aiming to change from a "first to invent" to "first to file" system are briefly summarized.
The document discusses various methods for protecting software innovations, including patents, copyrights, and trade secrets. It provides information on the requirements and limitations of patents and copyrights as they apply to software. Patents protect the functional aspects of software but are difficult and costly to obtain. Copyright protection is easier to secure and protects the original expression in software. Trade secret laws can also help protect software innovations. The document reviews international differences in intellectual property laws and how they apply to software.

Copyright or Copyleft - Creative CommonsMartha Hardy
This document provides an overview of copyright law and Creative Commons licensing. It defines copyright and what types of creative works it protects. Key aspects of copyright law covered include exclusive rights granted to copyright owners, limitations on protection such as ideas and facts, how to obtain copyright, fair use exceptions, and recent acts that have extended copyright terms. The document also introduces Creative Commons licenses and resources available with certain open licenses for reuse and sharing.
Copyright is important for several reasons. It protects creators' rights to their original works and allows them to profit from selling or licensing those works. This provides financial incentive to create new works. Copyright is also a legally protected right, so creators can pursue legal action if others infringe on their copyright. Additionally, copyrighted works can be valuable assets that creators can transfer or pass down as part of their estate. Overall, copyright laws aim to promote new creation by giving authors control over their works.
The document discusses international laws regarding patents, copyright, trademarks, and reverse engineering. It provides information on several international treaties and agreements that establish basic standards for intellectual property protections across countries. While these treaties aim to harmonize laws, some differences still exist between countries in areas like patent eligibility, registration processes, and protections offered. The document also explains that reverse engineering of patented or copyrighted works is generally allowed, with some exceptions, as it is viewed as an important competitive business practice.
411 on IP 101 for Tech-Geeks in the Startup WorldG. Nagesh Rao
The document discusses intellectual property law and different types of intellectual property. It explains that intellectual property refers to creations of the mind like inventions, artistic works, and symbols. There are four main types of intellectual property: trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. The document provides details on what each type protects, requirements for obtaining protection, duration of protection, and examples. It emphasizes the importance of understanding intellectual property law and protecting intellectual property.
The document outlines 10 principles for public rights in Australian copyright law. The principles are intended to provoke discussion and articulate the interests of those who support public access to and use of copyrighted works. The principles call for balancing private rights with public interests, limiting the scope and term of copyright, preserving Australian publications, allowing fair use through flexible exceptions, ensuring fair statutory licenses, supporting voluntary licensing, protecting public rights from technology and contracts, proportional enforcement, and free access to publicly funded works.
"Innovations" of copyright and intellectual propertiesWendy Lile
This document discusses innovations in copyright and intellectual property laws. It covers the types of intellectual property protections including copyrights, patents, and trademarks. It then discusses the application processes and statistics for these protections. The document also examines restrictive technologies like digital rights management (DRM) and piracy laws, and how they impact content distribution and mobile access. It concludes by arguing that current intellectual property restrictions mainly benefit large international businesses, rather than individual creators or the U.S. economy.
This document discusses copyright and various types of licenses. It explains that copyright law governs how others can legally use your work and whether you have to share your source code. It outlines closed licenses that restrict usage and viral open licenses like GPL that require source code sharing. Fair use and derivative works are also defined. A variety of existing open licenses are mentioned, and it is recommended to choose an OSI-approved open license to share a project.

Intellectual Property Strategy
1
Intellectual Property Strategy - Where do I
start?
Regardless of the nature of your business, you will be using and creating intellectual property all the
time. This article helps you to decide where intellectual property should be on your list of priorities. It
also aims to help you develop a plan for your intellectual property by providing information about the
processes, time and costs involved in protecting intellectual property rights.
What is intellectual property?
Intellectual property is a collection of intangible property which can be protected by law. Intellectual
property rights entitle you to stop others from using your intellectual property. These rights can be
assigned from one owner to another, licensed and used as security for borrowing.
Who is entitled to intellectual property rights?
The first owner of the intellectual property rights in a work is usually the creator of the work. There is a
key exception to this general rule in that intellectual property rights in works created in the course of
employment usually belong to the employer.
How can I tell what intellectual property is important to my business?
Are inventions important to your business? See PATENTS
Are trade secrets or other confidential information (e.g. customer lists) important to your
business? See CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Do you hope to draw in business by developing a brand or other distinctive “get-up”? See
TRADE MARKS
Will your company create valuable works such as software, documents, music, broadcast
or website content? See COPYRIGHT AND DATABASE RIGHTS
Is the appearance of your product important, for example, because it is a fashion item or
interior design piece? See DESIGNS
What do I have to do to protect my intellectual property?
Some rights arise automatically on creation of the work: these are copyright, database right, design
right, rights in passing off (see trade marks) and some rights in confidential information. Other rights
can only be obtained by application to the Intellectual Property Office (in the UK). Patents, registered
trade marks and registered designs fall into this category. Intellectual property rights are national
rights; you must ensure that your registrations cover all the countries where you want protection.
Intellectual Property Strategy
2
Intellectual Property - Patents
A patent is available to protect certain inventions. Some countries (excluding the UK) have a
secondary protection system of “utility models” for minor inventions (primarily mechanical
innovations). Whilst a patent application must disclose the invention fully, there is often secret know-
how associated with the invention, for example, how to optimise production of a patented product.
This know-how can be protected as confidential information.

The document summarizes copyright law in Sri Lanka. It discusses that copyright is governed by the Intellectual Property Act No. 36 of 2003. Copyright protects literary and artistic works and provides economic and moral rights to authors. Works are automatically protected upon creation without registration. Copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. Fair use provisions allow limited use for purposes like research and education. Infringement of copyright is a criminal offense punishable by fines and imprisonment.

This document provides an overview of different types of intellectual property protection including copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. It discusses what each type protects, requirements for obtaining protection, rights and limitations, costs associated with protection, and factors to consider in determining what type of protection is most appropriate for a business. Key information covered includes copyright protecting expression but not ideas, trademarks identifying business sources, patents protecting inventions, and trade secrets requiring secrecy.
Similar to Ownership rights in map products - an Intellectual Property perspective. (20)
The document discusses the importance of properly planning and structuring the acquisition of a computer system. It recommends that users work with qualified consultants and legal/tax advisors to address important issues before negotiating with suppliers. Issues like hardware/software configurations, contractual terms, tax benefits, responsibilities of parties should all be clarified upfront. The document outlines different types of agreements that may be required like hardware/software licenses, maintenance, and suggests users obtain all standard contract forms from suppliers early in the process to allow proper review and negotiation. Having the right team and preparation is key to avoiding later problems and ensuring user needs are met.
