Study Notes

IP Law Intro Lecture - Summary of Key Concepts

  • Intellectual Property (IP): Protection for valuable intangible assets, creating value from intangible and valuable assets. IP provides legal tools for exclusion and inclusion.

  • Learning Objectives: Understand how IP law supports business strategies, recognize legal issues in business, and communicate effectively with legal professionals.

  • Trademarks: Identifying signs to distinguish one enterprise's goods/services from others. This includes conventional trademarks (words, figures, composites), and non-conventional trademarks (color, smell, sound). Examples include Harley-Davidson (sound) or Toblerone (shape).

  • Trademarks - Registration (important points): Trademarks provide exclusive rights, allowing the owner to control how their creation is used. Registering a trademark provides wider protection.

  • Intellectual Property Landscape: Includes aesthetic creations, trade names, marks, signs, industrial inventions, and design rights. Fashion uses patents increasingly to protect unique fabrics and technologies. Copyright protects artistic works (books, music, sculptures) and technical inventions across all fields. Geographical indications and trade secrets also fall within this realm.

  • Public Domain: Items falling outside of IP protection, such as general ideas (vs. expression), or expiring IP protections.

  • Patents: Protect technical inventions, providing exclusive rights for a limited time.

  • Copyright: Protects original works (eg creative works, books), granting the owner exclusive reproduction, distribution and communication rights.

  • Moral Rights: Protection for the creator's personality rights, like the right to attribution and prevent derogatory alterations, often not transferable.

  • Copyright Infringement: Issues in online content distribution, like copyright notices (and takedowns) or the role of intermediaries (often very difficult to pursue).

  • Digital Platforms Liability: Evolving digital landscape, with issues like fair use, algorithmic copyright enforcement, and the role of automated content-filtering systems.

  • Trademark Registration: Procedures for registration, use requirements and maintenance for trademark protection.

  • Trademarks in Fashion (Specific Concerns): Problems like counterfeiting, "free-riding"--using brand recognition without proper permission, and the issues of trade mark registrations as names or identifiers.

  • Related Rights (Neighbouring rights): Rights granted to individuals or entities who contribute to the dissemination of creative works but are not considered the original creators. These rights, often tied to performers, filmmakers, broadcasters and authors, extend economic rights across multiple media, and often involve duration criteria unique to the specific right (eg performers' rights in live music).

  • Public Art: Navigating copyright laws in relation to public artworks.

  • Al and Creativity: Challenges and possibilities regarding copyright protection of AI generated works.

  • Copyright in Contemporary Art: Specific challenges presented by de-materialized art and the need for legal frameworks that are inclusive of this form of expression.
