- By: Kennedy Olsen
- Intellectual Property: is a legal concept enforced by federal and state laws to protect creators from unauthorized use of their creations by others. IP refers to creations of the mind. such as inventions (patent), a brand name (trademark), or literary and artistic work (copyright).
- Today we are going to be learning about some new concepts/terms and taking notes from the board on what they mean.
- Patents: protect inventions where the government gives the inventor the right to exclude others from making, using or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention. Most patents are valid for 20 years starting from the date the application was filed.
- Now let's go a little more in depth about patents, so everyone needs to write these notes down as we go.
- Copyrights: protect creators' original work, such as novels, musical compositions, paintings, photographs, and computer software and it lasts for the lifetime of the author or artist, plus 70 years. The penalty for using copyrighted work illegally depends on the nature of the copyright infringement, but it can range from a fine of $750-$150,000 per work. Other penalties include getting the illegal work confiscated, paying attorney fees, or going to jail.
- Next, we are going to learn about copyright and the penalties for copyright infringements.
- Fair use: is a doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without getting permission from the copyright owner. Some conditions that allow fair use are quoting material for commentaries/reviews, summarizing articles for news reports, and quoting academic works for research. These conditions qualify as fair use because they are either for the benefit of the public or for non-commercial purposes.
- We are now moving on to learn about the fair use doctrine conditions!

- Trademark: is a word, short phrase, sign, or symbol that represents a product or service, and differentiates it from other competitors. Other things about trademarks are, that you need permission to use trademarks for commercial use and they protect consumers as well because they're a sign of reliability and originality.
- Lastly we are covering trademarks, which I think is one of the easier definitions to remember!Also, the sources for these definitions are all listed on the front of my desk for those of you who missed some of them!
