3. piracy No discussion on intellectual property right ( ipr ) is complete without mentioning the problem of piracy around the world. Piracy is defined as the copying, stealing, reproducing, transmitting, and or selling of the intellectual property ( ip ) of an individual without his or her express consent and written approval as well as without paying that person the royalties due to him or her. Piracy as we know pertains to buying ip products at deeply discounted prices since the product would have been pirated and hence, there are no costs for the pirate except the minimal cost of reproduction. The range of such products can include software, movies, music, books, and even pharmaceuticals and works of art that would have been produced at great cost by the inventor.

4. plagiarism The word plagiarism means “ to steal and pass all of ideas or words of another as one’s own. Simply put, plagiarism is the process of taking other people’s words and or ideas and pretending that they are your own. Plagiarism can also be defined as the act of deliberately trying to deceive your academics tutor by submitting content which is not yours own work. Plagiarism is a serious problem. If you as a student are caught plagiarizing it can have serious consequences for your future academic and work career. Aside from the disciplinary perspective, plagiarism also harms the extent to which you as a student can learn whilst in years of academic study. When you cheat through plagiarism you are ultimately cheating yourself as you have spoiled the chance to learn and develop your knowledge on a specific subject. This learning and development skillset could stand you in good stead for later life so from all perspectives, plagiarism is something which should be avoided at all costs.

5. copyright A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy and distribute a creative work usually for limited time. the creative work may be in a literacy, artistic, educational or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea itself. A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations, such as the fair use doctrine in the united states. Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, depending on the jurisdiction. Some countries require copyright formalities to establishing copyright, other recognize copyright in any completed work, without a formal registration. When the copyright of a work expires, it enters the public domain.
