Introduction to Intellectual Property Discussion: How is it different? – Going to Best Buy& walking out with a copy of Modern Warfare 2 without paying for it. – Finding a site on the Net to illegally download Twilight & installing it and playing itillegally download – Getting a bootleg copy from your friend

View of work product as your property What about value from literary, artistic and more scientific works? Should there be rights given to this? – Value added by your efforts: John Locke’s labor-desert theory Ex. A farmer, crops & animals – Property theory in general: Utilitarianism, greater good – Hegel’s Personality theory, as an expression of self  Western viewpoint vs. most of the world

US legal background for IP US Constitution, Article 1, § 8 “The Congress shall have the Power … To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.” What happens after the time for protection elapses?

Societal debates on IP The difficulty of ‘owning an idea,’ Thomas Jefferson, p. 107 Is the protection promoting progress or limiting progress? – Suitability: Ex. John Phillips Sousa’s view on recorded “canned music” circa 1913view What constitutes a reasonable “limited time”? – Continuous increase in term length, p. 119 The digital dilemma

What is being protected? With intellectual property we are protecting the "creative expression" of the work. – The creative expression includes: organization of ideas presentation characters and events Facts, ideas, concepts, processes and methods of operation cannot be copyrighted. Specific processes can be patented, but not everything that processes can get a patent. For example, no one can patent the concept of a word processor.

4 kinds of protection for IP 1.Copyright - as a "literary" work 2.Patent – an invention or process 3.Trademark - as a representation 4.Trade secret – confidential process/technique for competitive advantage

Copyright Law Copyright law changed substantially in A copyright now occurs as the work is completed. The work does not have to be published. No requirement to register to get a copyright, but registration has key benefits: Excellent FAQ:

Rights of a copyright holder Exclusive right of the holder to – Reproduce – Create derivative works – Distribute copies – Perform and display the work publicly (… for sound, to transmit recording)

Things to know about Copyright Law: To what does having a copyright entitle the holder? – 4 rights, previous slide (8) Who can claim a copyright? Duration of a copyright? Two possibilities: – Usual: Life + 70 – Work for hire: earlier of 95 yrs after pub. or 120 yrs after creation There is no "international" copyright. A copyright does not give absolute protection - some "copying" allow for fair use.

Copyrightable work test: The work must be: 1.Original Independently created (not copied from other works) – Acuff-Rose Music v. Jostens, songwriter claimAcuff-Rose Music v. Jostens – Discovery of facts and phenomena cannot be copyrighted, but presentation can be with a minimum creativity req. – Very minimal std.

Copyrightable work test: cont’d 2.Work of authorship There is no standard of artistic merit Cts look for human involvement Doodles, fine literature, oil paintings, and polaroids all eligible Conversations, practical jokes are NOT copyrightable unless there is some intent to publish 3.Fixed in a tangible medium of expressionFixed in a tangible Embodied in a copy

Copyrightable test key points: So far, we’ve examined fact patterns about the originality test – Looking for independently created work & with a minimum of creativity Fact patterns showed the need for – Work to be original to the author and/or author added new elements – Human involvement (not to be a “slavish copy”)

Key Points cont’d For Works of Authorship – There is no standard of artistic merit Doodles, fine literature, oil paintings, and Polaroids all eligible Again, Cts look for human involvement Conversations, practical jokes are NOT copyrightable unless there is some intent to publish See Estate of Hemingway caseEstate of Hemingway

Works of Authorship cont’d Copyright is not available for words or short phrases or slogans – Why not? – BUT, those items may qualify for another kind of IP protection. What is it?

Works of Authorship, Key Points cont’d Requirement of human involvement – Works produced by mechanical process or random process without human involvement do not qualify Typical works of authorship: – literary, musical, dramatic, pantomimes/choreographic, graphic & sculpture, movies, sound recordings, architectural

Works of Authorship fact patterns: IMs Whale songs “Photoshopped” Elephant

3. Fixed in tangible medium Writings Definition of fixed is viewed broadly: books, notes, recording, etc. Must be tangible Until fixed by author or authorization, not protected by © © begins when fixed
