Intellectual Property

The first step is for traditional knowledge and folklore to enrich intellectual property instead of the other way around.

Many copyrighted works can be traced to traditional or folkloric roots. For example, Ella Fitzgerald's popular 1938 recording of "A Tisket, A Tasket" is a contemporary arrangement and performance of a 19th century nursery rhyme.

Patents, especially for mechanical devices, often derive from the traditional methods of crafting. Some drug patents began with research on and improvements to traditional medicine.

In exchange for all of this raw material, creators and inventors agree that eventually, their works will pass into the public domain, to become raw material for the next generation. Granted, patent law represents that ideal far better than copyright does, but the notion is still there.

The original text of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll is in the public domain, as it was published in 1865 and its copyright has expired. However, certain adaptations, illustrations, and other derivative works may be protected by copyright held by the respective creators or publishers.

Mr. Gilmer, a character from "To Kill a Mockingbird," was known for his habit of dismissing evidence and relying on prejudice in the courtroom. He was also known for his aggressive and condescending demeanor towards witnesses, particularly towards Tom Robinson during the trial.

Generally it requires a legislative act of the controlling government, such as the county or the state, sponsored by a local representative to that governing body, typically in answer to a petition by a large portion of its populus, if any.

A poem is considered a form of literary work and is protected under copyright law as a creative expression of ideas and emotions. The specific arrangement of words and unique structure of the poem are what is protected, rather than the ideas or themes themselves.

False. An expert editor's job is to enhance the overall story and emotion of a film by creating a cohesive flow. While there may be stylistic choices that carry over between different types of scenes, cutting action and romantic scenes in exactly the same way would not showcase the editor's skill and creativity in conveying different moods and pacing.

"The Twins" poem written by Henry S. Leigh is in the public domain as it was published before 1923 and copyright has expired. You are free to use and share this poem without any copyright restrictions.

You can copyright it - just by putting the copyright symbol (a circle with a C inside) on your poem with the date. Like --> Mary Jones(symbol here)2008. Otherwise it's around $10.

The term "Patent Shoon" translates simply as "Patent Leather Shoes", or "Wearing Patent Leather Shoes". Robert Service uses the phrase in the poem "The Ballad Of Basphemous Bill". In the poem he is listing all the various ways, places and cercumstances Bill might die in "In cabin or dance-hall camp or dive mucklucks or patent shoon". However, the prevous line ends with "Peak faced Moon", so Service uses poetic licence to morph the word "Shoe" into "Shoon" in order to make it rhyme. It's almost a concunction of "Shoe" and "Shod".

Yes, Where's Wally (known as Where's Waldo in the United States) is copyrighted worldwide as intellectual property of Martin Handford. The character and book series are protected by copyright laws to prevent unauthorized use and distribution.

Each photo has a corresponding agreement between the photographer and the magazine: it might be an employment contract if they're on staff, or a license for that particular photo if they're freelancing. Depending on the language of this agreement, copyright in the photo may belong to the photographer or the publisher.

The image will be protected for the life of the photographer plus 50 or 70 years, depending on the country, and the magazine will be protected as a corporate work (in the US, 95 years).

It doesn't. In point of fact current copyright law (specifically the "fair use" exception) actually makes it easier for the newspaper industry by allowing them to use a portion of copyrighted material for purposes of news reporting or critique without spending the time & capital to obtain permission.

An article typically consists of a title, an introduction or abstract, the main body of content organized into sections or paragraphs, and a conclusion. It may also include references or citations, author information, and keywords. The format can vary depending on the publication or style guide being followed.

When neural foramina appear patent, it means that they are open and not blocked or narrowed. This allows for proper passage of nerves and blood vessels through the spaces in the spine, preventing compression and preserving function. It is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing symptoms such as pain and weakness.

Copyright of folk tales, mythology, and legends typically resides in the public domain as these stories are passed down through generations and are considered part of a cultural heritage. However, specific adaptations or retellings of these tales by an author may be protected under their individual copyright.

Two words: copyright and plagiarism.

If you can prove you are the author, you can register your copyright and sue for statutory damages or actual damages and bring criminal charges of copyright infringement where the copied work was published for profit.

You can also contact the ombudsman with the proof and have the other reporter charged with plagiarism, which could mean loss of job, future contracts, or other administrative sanctions.

I would be concerned with the longevity of the paper, since it is not archival safe... the acids in the newsprint will cause the paper to deteriorate & fall apart eventually. Get some archival spray at a scrapbook store. As for the copyright issue, newspapers and clippings are protectable property, so it is likely that clippings will still be copyrighted (assuming they were properly copyrighted when published, and renewed if necessary). However, if you purchased copies of the newspapers then remove the clippings, the "first sale doctrine" will permit you to display them, sell them, etc. by themselves. However, if you use copyrighted works to create new "transformative" works (say a collage or an historic compilation, or mount them to new pages forming a book, you may need permission to make commerial advantage of your works. That is because the first sale doctrine does not override the copyright owner's exclusive right to create "derivative works". In one famous 1939 case, National Geographic stopped a company from clipping articles and pictures from magazines, mounting them together with related articles and selling them.

The registered trademark symbol (®) should ideally appear in a prominent and visible location on your logo, typically positioned next to or near the most prominent aspect of the logo that represents your brand identity. Placing the symbol prominently helps notify the public that your logo is a registered trademark, thereby deterring potential infringement and establishing your legal ownership rights.

There's no strict rule regarding the precise placement of the registered trademark symbol within your logo, but it's commonly incorporated in one of the following ways:

Adjacent to the Logo: The symbol can be positioned next to or below the logo, usually in a corner or at the end of the design. This placement ensures that it's easily noticeable without detracting from the overall aesthetic of the logo.

Within the Logo: In some cases, the registered trademark symbol is integrated into the design of the logo itself. It may be placed as a superscript or subscript next to the brand name or an iconic element of the logo.

Below the Logo: Another common placement is below the logo, either aligned with the text or centered beneath the graphical elements. This location keeps the symbol visible while maintaining the integrity of the logo design.

Regardless of where the symbol is placed, it's essential to ensure that it's legible and clearly identifiable. This helps reinforce the message that your logo is a registered trademark and emphasizes your legal rights to the brand.

Yes, that is correct. A generic term, which refers to the common name or category of a product or service, cannot be protected under trademark law unless it acquires a secondary meaning. Secondary meaning is when consumers associate the term with a specific source or brand rather than its generic meaning.

As the world's economy becomes more knowledge-based than industrial, all countries have the opportunity to grow by promoting and licensing the intellectual property of their people. Musicians, for example, have for decades served as informal ambassadors to other countries.

You can get out of it if you can argue that you were not given the opportunity to read the terms of the contract before you signed., or if you were under some for of duress that caused you to sign it (ie: blackmail), or if you can apply the non est factum rule. Otherwise anything you sign is binding.
