INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mindfor which a set of exclusive rights are recognizedand the corresponding fields of law. Underintellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible

assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words,phrases, symbols, and designs.

Although many of the legal principles governing intellectual property have evolved overcenturies, it was not until the 19th century that the term intellectual property began to be used,and not until the late 20th century that it became commonplace in the majority of the world. TheBritish Statute of Anne 1710 and the Statute of Monopolies 1623 are now seen as the origins ofcopyright and patent law respectively.

CategoriesIP is divided into two categories:

1. Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, andgeographic indications of source2. Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films,musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, andarchitectural designs.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

Intellectual property rights as a collective term includes the following independent IPRights which can be collectively used for protecting different aspects of an inventive work formultiple protections:-

1. Patents-protects original works of authorship i.e., literary works, musical works,dramatic works

2. Copyrights- protects new, useful inventions and processes Trademark Law3. Trademarks- protects words, names and symbols used by manufacturers to identify

goods or services4. Registered ( industrial) design5. Protection of IC layout design,6. Geographical indications7. Protection of undisclosed information

COPYRIGHT

Copyright is a form of intellectual property protection granted under Indian law to the creators oforiginal works of authorship such as literary works (including computer programs, tables and

compilations including computer databases which may be expressed in words, codes, schemes orin any other form, including a machine readable medium), dramatic, musical and artistic works,cinematographic films and sound recordings.

Copyright Law

The Copyright Act, 1957 protects original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works andcinematograph films and sound recordings from unauthorized uses. Unlike the case with patents,copyright protects the expressions and not the ideas. There is no copyright in an idea.

The Copyright Act, 1957 came into effect from January 1958. This Act has been amended fivetimes since then, i.e., in 1983, 1984, 1992, 1994 and 1999, with the amendment of 1994 beingthe most substantial. Prior to the Act of 1957, the Law of Copyrights in the country wasgoverned by the Copyright Act of 1914. This Act was essentially the extension of the BritishCopyright Act, 1911 to India.

History

The history of copyright law starts with early privileges and monopolies grantedto printers ofbooks. The British Statute of Anne 1709, full title "An Act for the Encouragement

of Learning, by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies,during the Times therein mentioned", was the first copyright statute. Initially copyright law onlyapplied to the copying of books. Over time other uses such as translations and derivativeworks were made subject to copyright and copyright now covers a wide range of works,including maps, performances, paintings, photographs, sound recordings, motionpictures and computer programs.

Scope

Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or "works".Specifics vary by jurisdiction, but these can include poems, plays, literaryworks, movies, dances, musical compositions, audiorecordings, paintings, drawings, photographs, software, radio and television broadcasts, andindustrial designs. Graphic designs and industrial designs may have separate or overlapping lawsapplied to them in some jurisdictions.

Importance of Protection of Copyright

Copyright ensures certain minimum safeguards of the rights of authors over their creations,thereby protecting and rewarding creativity. Creativity being the keystone of progress, nocivilized society can afford to ignore the basic requirement of encouraging the same. Economic

and social development of a society is dependent on creativity. The protection provided bycopyright to the efforts of writers, artists, designers, dramatists, musicians, architects andproducers of sound recordings, cinematograph films and computer software, creates anatmosphere conducive to creativity, which induces them to create more and motivates others tocreate.

Duration of Copyright

The total term of protection for literary work is the authors life plus sixty years. For

cinematographic films, records, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous publication,works of government and international agencies the term is 60 years from the beginning of the

calendar year following the year in which the work was published.

CASE STUDIES

Case -1: Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation

Introduction:

Apple vs. Microsoft was a lawsuit much popularly known as quick time piracy lawsuit. In thiscase apple filed a suit against Microsoft and HP in order to restrain them from using the GUIcharacteristics of apple mac and apple Lisa. Apple Inc. which was previously known as applecomputers Inc. lost this case against Microsoft Corporation which is an American multinationalfirm which produces and licenses a large variety of products and HP which is another Americanmultinational and a leading it firm. This case was filed in 1988 in district court and after 4 yearsin 1992 they lost it. Apple again appealed in 9th circuit court of appeals where after 2 years in1994 they finally lost the case again.

Background:

Long back apple licensed part of its GUI to Microsoft when Microsoft made its windows 1.0.

but when Microsoft launched windows 2.0 and 3.0 they copied all the characteristics of applemac and Lisa. Apple filed a case saying that whole of the GUI is copyrighted and only whole ismore important than the individual parts of the GUI.

Verdict (District Court):

District court bisected the GUI into parts and matched all the parts with the Microsofts GUI.Thedistrict court said that it would require standard virtually identical parts between Windows andthe Macintosh at trial in order for Apple to prove copyright infringement. Apple believed this tobe too narrow of a standard and that a more broad "look and feel" was important than theindividual parts at trial. Apple lost the case and now will have to pay attorney fees to Microsoft.

Verdict (District Court):

Apple was not at happy with the decision of the district court. So apple filed a case in the Ninthcircuit court. Apple appealed the decision arguing that the district court only considered theindividual elements of Apple's GUI, rather than the interface as a whole. The appeals court

almost entirely affirmed the ruling of the district court, establishing that, "illegal copying couldoccur only if the works as a whole are virtually identical." However, the circuit court did reversethe district court's decision not to award attorney's fees to Microsoft, and send the case back tothe district court to resolve the issue.

The circuit court dissected the GUI, in order to separate expression from ideas (as expression,but not ideas, is covered by copyright law). The court outlined five ideas that it identified asbasic to a GUI desktop: windows, icon images of office items, manipulations of icons, menus,


10/14

and the opening and closing of objects. The court established that Apple could not makecopyright claims based on these ideas.

The court also said that many of Apple's claims fail on an originality basis. Apple admittedlicensed many of its representations from Xerox, and copyright protection only extends tooriginal expression. Apple returned to its "complete look and feel" argument, stating that while

the individual components were not original, the complete GUI was. The court rejected thesearguments because the parts were not original.

Impact:

The court avoided a more far-reaching "look and feel copyright" precedent ruling. However, thecase did establish that the analytic dissection (rather than the general "look and feel") of a userinterface is vital to any copyright decision on such matters.

In 1997, five years after the lawsuit was decided, all lingering infringement questions againstMicrosoft as well as APPLE were settled in direct negotiations. Apple agreed to make Internet

Explorer their default browser. Microsoft agreed to continue developing Microsoft Office andother software for the Mac. Microsoft also purchased $150 million of nonvoting Apple stock,helping Apple in its financial struggle.

Case-2: Apple Computer, Inc. vs. Franklin Computer Corp.

Apple Computer, Inc. v. Franklin Computer Corp., was the first time a court in the UnitedStates held that a computer's operating system could be protected by copyright.

Introduction:Franklin Computer Corporation introduced the Franklin Ace 100, a clone ofAppleComputer's Apple II, in 1982. Apple found that some of the portions of theFranklin ROM and operating system had been copied directly from Apple's versions, and onMay 12, 1982, filed suit in the District Court . It states the presence of some of the sameembedded strings, such as the name "James Huston" (an Apple programmer), and "Apple soft,"on both the Apple and Franklin system disks.

Argument between Franklin Computers and Apple Inc.:

Franklin admitted that it had copied Apple's software but argued that it would not be possibleindependently write its own versions of the software and maintain compatibility, although it saidit had written its own version of Apple's copy utility and was working on its own versions ofother software. Franklin argued that because Apple's software existed only in machine form, andnot in printed form, and because some of the software did not contain copyright notices, it couldbe freely copied.

Verdict (District court):

The district court gives the decision in favor of Franklin.

Verdict (Circuit court):

As apple lost the case in the district court, so apple filed a case in the circuit court and said thatboth a program existing only in a written form unreadable to humans (e.g. object code) and oneembedded on a ROM were protected by copyright. The Circuit Court of Appeals overturned thedistrict court's decision which was in favor of Franklin and said that operating systems were alsocopyrightable.

Impact:

Hence Apple was able to force Franklin to withdraw its clones by 1988. The company laterbrought non-infringing clones to market, but as these models was only partially compatible withthe Apple II, and as the Apple II architecture was by this time outdated in any case, they enjoyedlittle success in the marketplace.

Introduction:

The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective novel written by Dan Brown. Itfollows symbolist Robert Langdon and Sophie Never as they investigate a murder

in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Deliver thepossibility ofJesus having been married to Mary Magdalene.

Criticism:

The book was not generally well received by critics, however, and it has been the subject ofnumerous negative appraisals concerning its literary value and its portrayal of history.

The book has been extensively denounced by many Christian denominations as an attack onthe Roman Catholic Church. It has also been consistently criticized for its historical andscientific inaccuracies.

Issue:

In 2006, Baigent and Leigh filed suit against Brown's publishers. They alleged that significantportions of The Da Vinci Code were copied from Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Brown confirmedduring the court case that he named the principle Grail expert of his story "Leigh Teabing", ananagram of "Baigent Leigh", after the two plaintiffs. In reply to the suggestion that Lincoln wasalso referenced, as he has medical problems resulting in a severe limp, like the character of LeighTeabing, Brown stated he was unaware of Lincoln's illness and the correspondence was acoincidence.

Verdict:

Because Baigent and Leigh had presented their conclusions as historical research, not as fiction,Justice Peter Smith, deemed that a novelist must be free to use these ideas in a fictional context,and ruled against Baigent and Leigh. Smith also hid his own secret code in his writtenjudgement, in the form of seemingly random italicized letters in the 71-page document, whichapparently spell out a message. Smith indicated he would confirm the code if someone broke it.Baigent and Leigh appealed, unsuccessfully, to the Court of Appeal.

Conclusion

Copyright must be protected by registering it so that the work should remain with the owner andhe can earn profits out of it and nobody else should copy it and use their name. Copying any itemcause a huge loss to the owner. Each copyright holder must about their rights and remedies in

case of a copyright infringement.

Indias greatest potential lies in its copyright related industries. India is the largest film-producing nation in the world. It has given the world the largest number of computer softwareengineers and its music is enjoyed all over, in particular in South and South East Asia. It has avibrant publishing industry with publications in over 26 official languages. All these industriescrave protection of the laws. If these laws and their enforcement are strengthened, it is only Indiawhich will benefit.

So in the end I would like to say that

BE GENUINE and BUY GENUINE
