This document discusses different types of intellectual property protection including copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Copyright protects original creative works and applies to artists, musicians, and authors automatically. Patents protect novel inventions for 20 years and must demonstrate they are unique, inventive, and can be applied industrially. Trademarks distinguish brands through logos, names, and sounds, protecting them for 10 years. Examples are provided of companies that benefit from each type, like brands benefiting from trademarks, and technologies from patents. The goal is for learners to understand these protections and why businesses use them.
This document provides an overview of copyright restrictions and exceptions for educational use, including Fair Use and the TEACH Act. It explains that as an educator, one is responsible for ensuring all copyrighted content used in courses either has permission, falls under Fair Use guidelines, or is covered by the TEACH Act. Faculty are expected to comply with copyright law and policies, and copyrighted content cannot be used without proper permission or exception. The TEACH Act allows certain uses of copyrighted works for distance education if specific conditions are met regarding accredited non-profit institutions, reasonable portions of works, direction of instructors, and limiting access to students in the course.
Copyright is a form of protection granted by law to authors of original creative works. It gives the author exclusive rights over reproduction, distribution, public performance, public display, and creation of derivative works. Copyright protection applies automatically when a work is created and fixed in a tangible form. It covers both published and unpublished works including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works. Not all creative works are subject to copyright protection which does not extend to facts, ideas, or systems. Copyright's purpose is to promote innovation and creativity by providing incentives for creators while allowing limited use of copyrighted works under exceptions like fair use.
Copyright gives creators exclusive rights over their original works to prevent others from copying or distributing them without permission. It applies automatically to any original work as soon as it is created, whether or not it contains a copyright symbol. Exceptions to copyright include fair use, which allows limited copying for educational purposes if credit is given. Understanding copyright and properly citing sources is important to avoid plagiarism and respect creators' ownership over their works.

How to Copyright a Website to Protect It under IPR and copyright actDr. Prashant Vats
- A website is a collection of interconnected web pages located on the same server and maintained by an organization. The content on a website, such as writing, images, and videos, can be copyrighted but not the website structure itself.
- To copyright a website, the content must be original, owned by the applicant, and clearly described. Copyright protection applies automatically when content goes live but registering the copyright provides additional legal protections.
- Parts of a website that cannot be copyrighted include domain names, website layout/design, links to other sites, public domain works, and common symbols/icons. Employees' work is owned by the business but contractors retain ownership unless assigned in a contract.

This document provides an overview of copyright and fair use guidelines. It explains that copyright protects original creative works and limits how others can use them without permission. Fair use allows for limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like education under a four factor test of the work's purpose, nature, amount used, and economic impact. It is easier to claim fair use when the work is transformed or repurposed in a way that adds new insight or understanding rather than using the full work as originally intended and presented. Proper attribution is also required when using copyrighted or open works. The document encourages applying these guidelines by having students create a fair use educational work with proper attribution to share.

This document discusses copyright and trademark issues related to technology and the internet. It covers several key points:
1) Copyright law protects original works immediately upon creation, whether published or not. Everything published online since 1989 is automatically copyrighted.
2) Trademarks can be advertised online through keyword advertising, but this has led to legal issues if competitors purchase keywords to divert traffic.
3) YouTube agreements with media companies exempt it from liability if it removes infringing content promptly, allowing user uploads while protecting copyrights.
This document discusses copyright and fair use. It explains that copyright protects original creative works and outlines penalties for copying or distributing those works without permission. Fair use allows for limited use of copyrighted works under certain circumstances, such as for educational purposes. The four factors that determine fair use are the purpose of the use, the nature of the work, the amount used, and the effect on the work's potential market. Examples are provided of general public use, fair use, and illegal use of copyrighted materials. Viewers are directed to additional resources for more information on copyright and fair use guidelines.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. Why is copyright & IP important?
Why should I care?
•
Using copyrighted work or IP owned by someone else without permission could put you at legal
risk.
•
Particularly if you or your business benefits financially from the use of copyrighted work or IP
owned by someone else, the copyright & IP owner may be entitled to damages and profits you
have received.
•
Look no further than the movie, The Social Network, where intellectual property dispute was
featured as the central conflict, as an example of why IP matters and why clarity regarding IP
ownership is important. Don't suffer the fate of a Winklevoss twin.

•
Copyright is a form of intellectual property protection that provides creators of an
original work with a bundle of rights to exclusively control the reproduction, sell and
distribution of a work.
•
Essentially, this gives you as a creator the right to stop others from copying, adapting,
publishing and distributing your work without your permission.

copyright?
•
No, but it’s smart to do and required if you ever have to file an infringement suit.

16. Copyright Infringement
•
Any violation of the exclusive rights of a copyright holder constitutes copyright
infringement.
•
Whenever a work is copied, reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed
without the permission of the copyright owner, copyright infringement has occurred.
•
To determine if a work has been infringed upon the courts of have devised the
“ordinary observer” test. This test holds that if an ordinary reasonable observer could
look at an original work and an alleged copy and conclude that the latter constituted a
copy of the former, then copyright infringement has occurred.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
17. Have you or has your business infringed
on someone else’s copyright?
•
Have you found a photo through Google Images and pasted into a post on your company’s
blog?
•
Have you sent a friend a PDF copy of an e-book you purchased online?
•
Have you or your child traced the design of image from a magazine or book and passed the
traced work off as your own?
•
These are all common ways people and employees infringe on the copyright & IP rights of
others without really thinking about the impact and potential consequences of their actions.
•
Copy infringement impacts livelihoods because it does not allow creators to benefit from the
fruits of their labor. In addition there can be tangible financial penalties for using copyrighted
work without permission. A copyright holder could be entitled to profits made from
unauthorized use of their work in addition to other damages.

19. How Google punishes websites
for copyright infringement
•
In August of 2012, Google made an update to its search algorithm that takes into account the
number of valid copyright removal notices a website has received.
•
Google now penalizes copyright infringing websites with lower search rankings and potential
elimination from its search engine altogether.
•
A large number of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) “takedown” filed against your
website your website could affect your or your companies rankings in Google search results
impacting your bottom line.

20. Fair Use
•
Question: So when does use of copyright-protected work without permission not
qualify as copyright infringement?
•
Answer: When use of a work is protected under the doctrine of fair use.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
21. Fair Use
•
Fair use balances the needs of copyright holders with the public’s interest under limited
circumstances related to commentary, criticism, teaching, scholarship, research and news
reporting.
•
For example if you wanted to critique the work of designer, you might choose to feature an image
of the designer’s work in an article. Use of the work in this way would be considered to be fair use.
•
You could also do the same with quoted words and or photographs as long as it’s done in
moderation. A copyright owner always holds the option to challenge your judgment of whether
your use of their work is protected under fair use if they feel your use has extended beyond the
fair use territory.

22. Fair Use Examples
• Fair Use
• NOT Fair Use
“You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

You're growin' now you know about
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.”

24. Copyright & IP
Ownership vs Licensing
Ownership
Grants full rights and usage
Pro: Own your work, you own you future
Yours
Con: Can be more expensive than licensed use
Example: Logo design, photography, written content that you create and therefore
can sell.
Licensing
Grants usage, not ownership
Not Yours
Pro: Can be cheaper than acquiring full ownership
Con: Usage rights can be limited and subject to restrictions by owner including
royalties
Example: Stock photos and images from Shutterstock, iStockPhoto, Dreamstime

25. Who Owns Copyright?
Employers
Employers automatically own copyright to work created by employees in
course of their employment.
Freelancers & Independent Contractors
You don’t automatically own copyright to work created for you by freelancers,
creatives and independent contractors. An extra step is needed.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
26. One of the biggest mistakes
marketers & businesses
make is thinking . . .
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
27. I paid a freelancer, creative or independent contractor for
their work. Don't I automatically own full copyright & IP
rights to the work because I paid for it?
•
No.
•
Think about the last time you bought a book. You own the paper and ink, but not the author's
words or thoughts. The same holds true for all other intellectual property such as design work,
photos and other written content.
•
A transaction in which someone wants to handover full copyright & IP ownership of their work to
you is incomplete unless it's formally and explicitly transferred in writing.
•
In the case highlighted above where you paid for work without transferring copyright & IP
ownership in writing, you would implicitly have a non-exclusive license to use the work however
the freelancer, creative or independent contractor would still remain the copyright owner of the
work.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
28. How can copyright & IP
ownership be transferred?
•
Copyright & IP ownership can only be fully transferred through formal written
agreement.
•
This is often referred to as a “copyright transfer” or “copyright assignment” where you
“transfer” or “assign” copyright & IP ownership.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
29. Copyright & IP ownership is typically addressed in
1 of 3 ways when buyers work with freelancers,
creatives & independent contractors
1.
Contract in which a buyer receives full ownership rights to work upon payment to a
freelancer.
2.
Contract in which a freelancer retains full ownership rights to work upon payment and
licenses use of work to a buyer.
3.
Copyright ownership is not addressed at all -- even if a contract is used.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
30. What happens if I don’t get a copyright
transfer or copyright assignment?
•
In the most commonplace situation you would have an implied license to use the material.
•
However, you would not actually “own” the work. Meaning that you would have to get permission
from the creator for future uses of the work or to alter the work in any way in the future.
•
The sale of knowledge work is considerably more difficult to transact than the sale of physical
goods due to the legal complexities surrounding the transfer of copyright & IP ownership.
Webinar Presentation by
Reggie Solomon, Founder, Kunvay
www.kunvay.com
31. Work-for-Hire
•
Work-for-hire language is often used in contracts so that buyers/clients automatically
own copyright & IP rights to work produced by freelancers, creatives and independent
contractors just as if they were a direct employee.
•
Work-for-hire allows buyers/clients to automatically own copyright to work produced
outside their organization.
•
Work-for-hire arrangements are only valid if there a signed agreement with both parties
indicating that a work is work-for-hire AND if an independent contractor is creating a
specially-ordered or commissioned work in one of the specific 9 categories of work
below:

qualify as a work-for-hire – EVEN IF – there is contract provision signed by both parties
noting that a work is specifically created as part of a work-for-hire arrangement.
Meaning you would still have to go through the step of clarifying copyright & IP
ownership arrangements.

36. Who Owns the Copyright?
Case Study 2:
The neighbor’s kid down the street designed a logo for my new startup for free as a favor and as
way to build up her portfolio. She emailed me the logo, told me I could have it, and I thanked her
for it. There was no contract – she’s the neighbor’s kid after all. Who owns copyright to the logo?
Answer:
The neighbor’s kid. You own an implied license to use the logo.

37. Who Owns the Copyright?
Case Study 3:
One our nonprofit volunteers created a new design for our website which really looks awesome now
that it’s been redesigned. We took the volunteer out to dinner to thank him for helping us out since
we can’t afford his regular website design fees. There was no contract – he’s a volunteer after all
and we’re a nonprofit. Who owns copyright to the new website design?
Answer:
Your nonprofit volunteer. You own an implied license to use the work.

38. Who Owns the Copyright?
Case Study 4:
My company hired a freelance copywriter to produce the new marketing copy for our new sales
brochure. I signed a contract the freelancer gave me which included the deadline when I was to
receive the work and how much the freelancer was to be paid. We paid the freelancer the agreedupon $1,000 for her work and have the brochure marketing copy which is really fantastic and wellwritten. Who owns copyright to the marketing copy?
Answer:
Read the contract. If the contract does not explicitly assign copyright & IP ownership to your
company, you own an implied license to use the work by default. Payment does not automatically
confer copyright & IP ownership transfer.
