Intellectual Property and Corporate Espionage
Corporate espionage is an illegal activity though it is on rise in industrial settings. Organizations consider it as one of the techniques to increase their market share and beat the competitor. Various laws have been approved to combat these practices on domestic and international levels. Violation of these acts can result is heavy fines and suspension from business sector.

The advent of information technology has revolutionized the business practices. It has facilitated business operations to a great extent. In the modern 21st century, no organization can expect its existence without information technology. However, every man made system has flaws. Information technology has posed serious challenges for organization with reference to their competitive advantage in the market. As many organizations work on creative and novel solutions to attract the customers, the market value is possible as far as the offers are unique. As soon as other organizations copy…...

The WIPO Copyright Treaty significantly takes on some of the elements of the erne Convention.
For patens and other industrial property protection treaties, there are similar challenges in attempting to create a common denominator among the different national legislations. From this point-of-view, the Paris Convention takes over some of the roles fulfilled by some of the previously mentioned conventions. As a multilateral convention, it is important to create a minimum standard in terms of the protection of industrial property.

One of the most overarching agreements on intellectual property rights and their protection in an international framework is done within the World Trade Organization through TRIPS. TRIPS covers copyright and related rights, but also a wide array of other intellectual property, such as industrial designs and patents, trademarks and geographical indications

There are three main sections that form this multilateral agreement. The first deals with standards, in other words, with the common denominator…...

The right to distribute is one thing, the right to the idea is another.
It is quite possible that the Internet itself has spawned this idea of intellectual property as separate from tangible property in a quite real way. By viewing the Internet itself as basically intangible, in essence you cannot see the Internet only the result that is given on the screen, certainly has something to do with starting one thinking about this concept. In another enigma, the Internet is often used to violate the Intellectual property of another.

The marked increase in intellectual property theft, combined with the lack of deterrence provided by civil remedies, has led the federal government and most states to enact criminal statutes to prevent the theft of intellectual property and protect owners' rights. The federal government has made trademark and copyright infringement a priority. (Newman, Cai & Heugstenberg, 2007, p. 694)

Intellectual Property for Pre-Owned Boat Sales
Boat World plans on selling pre-owned boats purchased in Florida to newly emerging yachting, jet-ski, and small boat enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia. Given the demand for cheaper alternatives to new jet skis, boats, and cruisers/yachts that exists in the country and the relative lack of any supplier or retailer meeting this demand, it is believed that such a business venture will be highly profitable. Unfortunately, it is of course impossible to claim any sort of exclusive right to this business plan; it is not unique enough in its design or any of its processes or products to warrant protection from national or international intellectual property laws. Once the business takes off, then, there are likely to be other competitors that spring up and follow suit, and so my company Boat World will need to find ways in which to differentiate itself to consumers, and to…...

In the contemporary cyber environment, innovation does not enhance success. For example, most patents such as songs and books receive low rewards. The author suggests that there is a need to make rules to enhance the bargain of intellectual property owners.

In the contemporary cyberspace and it world, the traditional copyright law has not been sufficient to protect intellectual property right in the face current development of computer and cyber technology. In the cyber world, the traditional copyright law is unable to protect the source code owners, which are the computer instructions written in human readable computer programming language. The importance of source code is that it assists computer to run several programs used for individual and business advantages. Despite the importance of source code, many penetrators have used different technological techniques to steal the source code of other people thereby infringing on the IP law.

Johnson reports that "in 1998, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)1 severely limited the use of copyrighted materials in distance learning. In 2002, the Technology, Education, and Copy- right Harmonization Act (TEACH Act) relaxed these restrictions under specific conditions. These two laws significantly changed the way educators could use copyrighted material in the digital class- room." (Johnson, p. 66)
In the section hereafter, the research considers the implications of this orientation for practicing universities.

e can see that in real and applicable cases, the statutes created by the SSHE and the TEACH Act have relevance to university proceedings on the subject. The University of Cincinnati, Ohio (2005) identifies this as a central concern in its official university Copyright Policy. This impacts the ownership status of materials created by university personnel but creates a far looser set of terms than that which is proposed by the SSHE above, seeming more to align…...

Trademarks are one of the key areas of intellectual property that a firm will want to protect. A trademark is defined as a "word, phrase, symbol and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others" (USPTO, 2014). Thus, the trademark is often a company's brand or the symbol associated with the brand. For example, the company name Nike is a trademark and the swoosh symbol is also a trademark, as both specifically identify the Nike company brand.
Trademarks are protected on the basis of each individual country, and the protections afforded by each country can vary significantly. In many parts of the world, trademark protections are minimal. The result is that goods are routinely knocked off. The trademark being synonymous with the brand, inferior goods bearing your company's trademark will surely devalue the brand - the caveat being that the consumer almost…...

Intellectual property is defined as the unique intellectual output of a person or persons. Some examples of intellectual property are works of art, written or design works that are for commerce, patents, and copyrights. The World Intellectual Property Organization (2018) uses the terminology "creations of the mind". The legal definition for each of these things being intellectual property varies by type and by jurisdiction. For example, some IP is protected by copyright, some by patent, so there is a need to know what type of IP you are dealing with to ascertain the legal dimensions of it (Keener, Lock & Makaravage, n.d). But as a general principle if somebody adds unique value to a work, then that value-added work can be considered their intellectual property. If someone creates an entire work, then it is clearly their property, but the value added principle allows for people to build on things –…...

Intellectual property can be described as any exceptional product of human intellect or the mind. Some common examples of intellectual properties include software, music, symbols, movies, designs, symbols, words and phrases. Similar to other properties, intellectual property is safeguarded by relevant laws that seek to protect the interests of creators. These laws seek to achieve this by giving the creators rights over their respective creations. However, the protection of intellectual property is associated with some ethical issues and concerns. This paper discusses intellectual property ethics in relation to intellectual property rights and intellectual property theft. The discussion includes an overview of laws relating to safeguarding intellectual property rights and a brief analysis of the Robin Thicke/Blurred Lines lawsuit.

Image Copyright
Intellectual property laws are the subject of much debate. Indeed, some people feel as if the ability to use another person's photo or likeness without payment or other remuneration should be allowed and free while the law itself basically bans such a practice unless such uninhibited usage is granted in advance. As with most things, there is a middle ground between the two that could and should be sought but the middle ground is going to favor the intellectually property proponents much more than the opponents. While the intellectual property people have valid gripes to some degree, there is a need for intellectual property law and the author of this report will offer specific examples of why this needs to be the case.

Intellectual Property Law
There has been much controversy surrounding the European Union copyright directive, especially as this relates to the music industry. There have been several arguments that these laws are inadequate when taking into account new technological developments, especially with regard to the Internet. Indeed, when the media industry in general is taken into account, the rapid developments require adjustments in legislation. While the copyright directive is an attempt at such adjustments, it however falls short of the all-encompassing clarity required in specific situations, such as certain cases within the music industry.

The Changing Music Industry and EU Competition Law

The article integrating intellectual property concepts in MIS education, describes intellectual property as rights that belong to people who own works that are as a result of their mind. Intellectual property regards to products of the human mind that have commercial value need recognition and protection (Mykytyn & Harrison, 2005). It is for this reason that the owners of such works need intellectual property right. The article explores four main categories of intellectual rights. These include copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets. This intellectual property rights get transferred through giving, selling or renting.

The intellectual property rights get a treatment that is similar to tangible property. The owners of these properties have a monopoly over their use for a limited period. The intellectual property…...

Intellectual Property Rights: Article SummaryThe article details the various forms of intellectual property protection, the disadvantages of intellectual property protections, and why it is still beneficial to have such protections as a means to guard the ownership and use of other peoples inventions. The main forms of intellectual property protection are trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, patents, and knowhow agreements. Different forms of intellectual property protection work in different ways. For instance, trade secrets involve withholding information from the public with the aim of gaining a technical edge over the competition. On the other hand, patents grant monopoly rights to an inventor by preventing others from selling, using, or making a technology for a specified time period.Critics of intellectual property protection hold that such protections slow down the use or advancement of technologies as developers have to obtain legal permission to use or adapt protected technologies. However, intellectual property protections have…...

1 People should be interested in Intellectual Property (IP) because IP is an intangible business asset, and if IP is not protected then others can basically steal the asset and use it to further their own interests. Protecting IP is what helps to further innovation and ensure that resources are devoted to research and design. It is also about protecting one’s position in the marketplace. As Bican, Guderian and Ringbeck (2017) point out, businesses have to manage their knowledge to maintain a competitive advantage. If that knowledge is only loosely protected, others could take advantage of it as though it were a resource out in the wild waiting to be snatched up by anyone willing to take it.
