Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks...Oh My! (Series: Intellectual Property 101)Financial Poise
It has been said that a copyright attaches when the “pen hits the paper” (when an original work is created and “fixed” in a particular expression) but that doesn’t mean the analysis of what a copyright is and what it protects ends there. A copyright is a valuable piece of Intellectual Property that protects many types of original works, not just artistic, literary, or musical works. Copyright laws are intended to “feed the artist” and give owners the right to reproduce their works and prevent others from doing so without the owner’s permission.
Thomas Edison. Henry Ford. Steve Jobs. These three household names revolutionized modern society through the protections afforded to their intellectual property by U.S. patent laws.
A trademark—whether a word, slogan, design, color, color combination, overall look or feel of an item or its packaging, or even a sound —enables customers to identify the source of goods or services. As such, companies should understand the benefits and pitfalls associated with U.S. trademark laws if they ever hope to develop a successful brand.
This webinar discusses the so-called “nuts and bolts of copyright law” beginning with what exactly is a copyright, how to protect a copyright, and finally how to enforce a copyright. It also breaks down U.S. patent laws into the nuts and bolts. It discusses the types of inventions that can receive protection, as well as the extent of U.S. patent protection. Finally, this webinar examines how trademarks are created and maintained, various methods of trademark protection, rights conferred by trademark registration, and steps for enforcing trademarks in the U.S. in the brick-and-mortar marketplace and online.

Many of the resources you wish to use to support your teaching and research are protected by copyright. However, the good news is that there are ways in which you can legitimately use those materials without infringing copyright. This session will give an overview of the licences the university holds, as well as the permitted acts built into copyright law which allow educational establishments to benefit from a suspension of the rules which normally govern the use of copyright protected works.

Operating as a Canadian Business Under the New “User-Focused” Copyright Act -...MaRS Discovery District

In this presentation, we discuss:
-How the new act affects Canadian businesses, particularly innovative industries.
-What has changed and what remains the same for commercial copyright owners.
-What a business needs to know to protect its copyright and to keep from infringing the copyright of others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

8. How
is
Copyright
Created?
§ The
original
work
is
created
by
a
Canadian
ci9zen
or
ci9zen
of
a
Berne
Conven)on
country.
§ The
work
must
come
into
physical
existence;
copyright
does
not
exist
in
ideas.
§ If
the
work
is
published,
the
work
is
published
in
Canada
or
a
Berne
Conven)on
country.
10. How
Long
Does
Copyright
Exist?
Depends
on
the
type
of
work
and
whether
there
are
joint
authors.
For
e.g.:
§ Most
works
=
Life
of
the
author
+
Rest
of
the
calendar
year
in
which
the
author
died
+
50
years
§ Joint
authors
=
Term
lasts
to
the
end

the
50th
year
of
the
last
author
dies
§ Unknown
author

making
of
the
ini9al
nega9ve
§ Movies
=

the
copyright
work
but
there
are
excep9ons.
§ Photographs:
The
first
person
who
owns
the
nega9ve
of
the
photo
(not
always
the
photographer).
§ Employees:
Employers
are
the
first
owner
of
works
created
for
the
employer
by
the
employee.
13. Who
Can
Use
Copyright
Materials?
§ The
owner.
Ownership
can
be
transferred,
but
must
be
in
wri9ng.
The
ownership
transfer
agreement
usually
is
called
an
“assignment’.
§ Anyone
who
has
permission
(“license”).
The
terms
of
the
license
dictate
what
the
“licensee”
can
do
under
the
license.
The
fee
paid
under
the
license
to
the
copyright
owner
(“licensor”)
is
a
“royalty”.
14. Who
Can
Use
Copyright
Materials?
Be
careful
with
“royalty
free”
content!
§ Each
site
has
its
owns
terms
governing
content
use.
§ Many
sites
only
allow
non-‐commercial
use.
§ Commercial
licenses
are
o_en
restricted
e.g.
number
of
copies,
territory.
§ Read
license
terms
carefully.
§ Know
how
the
content
will
be
used
before
purchasing
a
license
to
avoid
wasted
$$$.
15. What
is
Copyright
Infringement?
§ The
making
of
an
unauthorized
copy.
§ There
must
be
a
“substan9al”
por9on
of
the
material
copied.
§ No
hard
and
fast
rule
as
to
what
is
substan9al.
§ Test
is
quality,
not
quan9ty:
Does
the
copy
take
enough
of
the
work
so
as
to
convey
at
least
a
por9on
of
the
value
of
the
work?
16. What
is
Copyright
Infringement?
§ Two
types:
1. Primary:
A
copy
is
made
without
permission
(e.g.
copying
a
most
of
a
magazine
ar9cle,
pirated
so_ware).
2. Secondary:
The
sale,
rental
or
distribu9on,
or
display
or
possession
for
that
purpose,
of
an
unauthorized
copy
provided

§ Some
of
the
significant
changes
that
affect
those
in

user
generated
content
created
using
copyright
material
legi9mately
obtained

Parody
&
Sa<re
§ While
parody
and
sa9re
excep9ons

27. Ques<on
1
Q:
Can
you
use
a
copyrighted
image
if
the
image
is
no
longer
recognizable?
A:
Depends.
No
if
the
altera9on
impacts
the
ability
of
the
copyright
owner
to
exploit
the
work.
Even
if
that
is
not
the
case,
if
the
distor9on
nega9vely
affects
the
creator’s
honour/reputa9on,
then
no
because
the
distor9on
would
affect
the
author’s
moral
rights.
28. Ques<on

Q:
What
happens
if
you
are
accused
of
using
copyrighted
material?
What
are
some
of
the
consequences
and
how
should
you
approach
resolving
this
ma^er?
A:
Usually,
the
plain9ff’s
lawyer
will
send
a
demand
le^er.
If
the
ma^er
cannot
be
resolved
at
that
stage,
the
copyright
owner
may
sue.
The
limita9on
period
is
three
(3)
years.
Criminal
proceedings
are
also
available,
but
rare.
29. Ques<on
2
(con<nued)
A:
Remedies
for
copyright
infringement
include:
1. An
injunc9on.
The
only
available
remedy
if
an
infringer
can
prove
(s)he/it
had
not
reasonable
basis
for
knowing
copyright
existed/was
infringed).
2. Damages
and
profits
or
statutory
damages
(currently
$500
to
$20,000
per
copy).
3. Interest,
puni9ve
and/or
exemplary
damages,
“delivery
up”
of
infringing
materials
and
“costs”
(payment
of
plain9ff’s
legal
fees).
30. Ques<on
2
(con<nued)
A:
A
copyright
dispute
can
be
very
expensive
money
and
9me
wise,
with
each
party’s
legal
fees
easily
exceeding
$100,000
or
more,
and
a
lawsuit
in
Federal
Court
currently
taking
two
(2)
years
to
reach
judgement.
Proceedings
in
Ontario
Superior
Court
can
take
considerably
longer
to
go
to
trial.
31. Ques<on
2
(con<nued)
A:
What
approach
to
take
depends
on
the
facts
(e.g.
whether
there
is
copyright
in
the
work
allegedly
being
infringed).
While
many
are
hesitant
to
do
so
because
of
the
cost,
it
o_en
is
cheaper
and
in
a
party’s
best
interest
to
hire
a
lawyer
who
has
experience
with
copyright
disputes
to
assess
whether
there
is
a
claim
and
to
develop
an
ac9on
plan
(e.g.
whether
to
send
a
demand
le^er,
whether
to
se^le
a
dispute
–
which
is
o_en
cheaper).

about
other
people's
work
(i.e.
photos
from
magazines,
illustra9ons,

and
wan9ng
to
post
images
we
find
online,
is
there
a
hard
and
fast
rule
about
how
we
should
credit
the
original
author?
What
should
we
be
wary
of
when
doing
this?
33. Ques<on
3
(con<nued)
A:
OK
if
doing
for
cri9cism/review
or
news
repor9ng
provided
you
credit
the
author
by
men9oning:
1. the
source;
and
2. if
given
in

the
name
of
the:
a. author,
in
the

Q:
How
can
we
best
protect
our
own
work
that
we
post
online
that
might
get
picked
up
by
other
people?
A:
Some
9ps.
§ Disable
right
clicks
(but
will
not
work
with
the
tech
savy).
§ While
not
legally
required,
copyright
no9ces
and
website
terms
of
use
on
your
own
sites
can
be
a
deterrent.
§ Register
copyright
in
commercially
important
works
that
might
get
infringed
so
you
have
your
registra9on
in
advance
of
li9ga9on.

the
ownership
rules
of
the
social

that
we

Facebook,
Twi^er,
Wordpress)?
We
never
read
the
fine

or
if
we

we

it.
What
should
we
look
for
and
be

of
to

our
crea9ve

A:
As

§ You

Wordpress.
§ Facebook
has
a

to
all

un9l
your

36. Ques<on

(con<nued)
A:
Fine

may
be
boring,

you

to
determine
what
rights,
if
any,
you
are
giving
the
service
provider
in
respect
of
your

Given
that
each

Q:
Many
companies
(i.e.
ad

marke9ng
&
communica9ons
firms)
and
i ns9tu9ons
are
encouraging,
even
requiring,
their
employees
to

to

their

Who
is
responsible
if
an
inappropriate
or

one
of
these
"official"
feeds
-‐
the
employer
or
the

41. Ques<on

A:
It
depends.
§ Employers
may
be
liable
for
representa9ons
made
in
the
“scope
of
employment”.
§ Statements
made
on
an
employee’s
personal
9me/account
may
be
a^ributed
to
employer.
§ But
the
employee
may
be
liable
if
the
ac9vity
was
not
authorized.
Cri9cal
to
have
policies
in
place
–
and
a
paper

for
things
they
have
wri^en
or
images
that
have
appeared
in
their
personal
blogs,
Facebook
or
Twi^er

Example:
Marke9ng
person,
who
works

that
has
a
major
beer
company
as
a
client,
posts
a
picture
taken
at
a
birthday

A:
From
a
labour

§ If
non-‐union

more
control

§ If

impact
the

can
lead
to
dismissal.

construc9ve
dismissal
–
which
would
require
quitng
your
