Roxanne Peters had given us a talk today in regards to intellectual property and here are my notes.
-Intellectual Property; A set of international legal rights that protect the financial and reputational interests of creators and innovators
-Includes copyrights, trademarks, design rights, patents, trade secrets
Examples:
-Music copyrights
-Games and Animation Trademarks like trademarking slogans (“Gotta catch em all” From Pokémon)
-Performers rights: Music Copyright to who ever wrote the song and performers rights to who over sang the song or was recorded speaking.
After I was given a hypothetical case study which highlighted the issues with using AI and using ideas of lesser known artists, there was a relevant term that came up. ->
Moral Rights: Your right to not be credited and named in connection to the product (If I want my name to be scratched from the credits)
