Study Notes

Intellectual Property and Copyright

Intellectual Property (IP) encompasses creations of the mind, including inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols used in commerce.
In the Philippines, IP covers legal rights protecting creations such as inventions, literary works, and commercial symbols.
Examples of IP include copyrights on books, logos for brands, website designs, and patents for manufacturing processes.

Copyright Overview

Copyright protects original works of authorship upon fixation in a tangible form.
It applies to various works, including literature, music, films, and software.
Every creator becomes a copyright owner upon creating and fixing their original work.

Copyright Ownership

Copyright ownership can extend beyond the creator to include companies or organizations through "works made for hire" agreements.
Ownership may also be transferred via contracts, assignments, or inheritances.

Other Intellectual Property Rights

Patents protect inventions, designs, and plant varieties, granted by the government.
Trademark law protects distinctive symbols, names, and devices used in commerce to distinguish goods or services.

Copyright vs. Privacy

Copyright ownership does not equate to privacy rights; appearing in someone else's work does not grant ownership.
Individuals can file privacy complaints if their images or recordings are used without consent, breaching their safety or privacy.

Copyright Infringement

Infringement occurs when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, or modified without permission from the copyright holder.

Fair Use Doctrine

Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like criticism, teaching, scholarship, and news reporting without permission.
Criteria for fair use include the purpose of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the market value of the work.

Philippine Intellectual Property Code

Republic Act No. 8293 governs IP in the Philippines, outlining penalties for violations, including civil damages and criminal charges.
Consequences for infringing the code can affect both individuals and entities involved.

Online Threats: Plagiarism

Plagiarism involves unauthorized use or imitation of another's work, presenting it as one’s own without attribution.
Notable plagiarism cases in the Philippines demonstrate the importance of original content and proper crediting.

Online Threats: Phishing

Phishing is a cybercrime where individuals are deceived into providing sensitive data by impersonating legitimate entities through emails, texts, or communications.
Variations include email phishing, text message phishing, social media phishing, and spear phishing, often targeting specific individuals.

Awareness and Education

Creating digital content can help raise awareness about IP, copyright, and fair use, fostering understanding and compliance in digital environments.
