What are intellectual property rights?

–An international convention of September 1886 that sets out ground rules for protection of copyright at national level

TRIPS: The Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights
• 1994: the international agreement on intellectual property rights that arose from the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
• It is designed to reduce distortions and impediments to international trade while taking account of the need to promote effective protection of intellectual property rights.
• computer programs and databases will also be protected by copyright. Trade marks and patents …with additional protection for designs and the layout of integrated circuits.
• Phased implementation - Developed countries were given until 1 January 1996 …Developing countries were given until 2000, and the least developed countries an additional six years.
What do all these mean to me?
• Fair Use
• Public Domain
• TEACH Act
Fair Use Test
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
17 U.S.C. §107
Why do I have to use US copyright laws in Egypt?
• The American University in Cairo (AUC) is an American institution incorporated in Delaware with offices in New York, therefore it is subject to litigation in both states.
• AUC follows American copyright law, and Egyptian law where applicable. U.S. Federal copyright law, as contained in the Copyright Act of 1976 and subsequent amendments (17 U.S.C. et seq.), protects original works of authorship and governs their reproduction
