Intellectual Property Right
Intellectual property protection is important in fostering innovation. Without protection of ideas, individuals will not be
able to enjoy the full benefit of their inventions and they would not be compensated for their creations. This encourages
innovation without the fear that a competitor will steal the idea and/or take the credit for it.
Intellectual property, according to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), refers to creations of the mind
such as inventions; literary and artistic works, designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. An intellectual
property right is a right held by a person or by a company to have exclusive rights over these, Internationally, these
intellectual properties are protected by the World Intellectual Property Organization to which the Philippines is one of the
191 member states. In our country, we have the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHIL) which administers
and implements state policies in relation to intellectual property. This office was created through Republic Act 8293. This
act defines intellectual property to include copyright and related rights; trademarks and service marks: geographic
indications; industrial designs; patents; layout designs (topographies) of integrated circuits and protection of undisclosed
information. In the education setting, copyright and related rights are the ones applicable.

Copyright
Copyright refers to the legal right given to the owner of the original work or intellectual property. These "works" are
original intellectual creations in the literary and artistic domain protected from the moment of their creation which include
the following:
1. books, pamphlets, articles and other writings;
2. periodicals and newspapers;
3. lectures, sermons, addresses, dissertations prepared for oral delivery, whether or not reduced in writing or other
material forms;
4. letters;
5. dramatic or dramatico-musical compositions, choreographic works or entertainment in dumb shows,
6. musical compositions, with or without words;
7. works of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving, lithography or other works of art; models or designs
for works of art,
8. original omamental designs or models for articles of manufacture, whether or not registrable as an industrial design,
and other works of applied art;
9. illustrations, maps, plans, sketches, charts and three-dimensional worksnrelative to geography, topography,
architecture or science;
10. drawings or plastic works of a scientific or technical character;
11. photographic works including works produced by a process analogous to photography; lantern slides;
12. audiovisual works and cinematographic works and works produced by a process analogous to cinematography or
any process for making audio- visual recordings:
13. pictorial illustrations and advertisements;
14. computer programs; and
15. other literary, scholarly, scientific and artistic works.
The internet is a very rich source of these materials and we should be careful in using them. These works are protected
by the sole fact of their creation, irrespective of their form or mode of creation as well as of their content, quality and purpose.
Now that copy and paste are very accessible commands in our computer toolbars, we should try not to violate the copyright
laws otherwise we could be accused of copyright infringement. Copyright infringement is the use of works without permission
where the copyright holder has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make
derivative works. Proper citations should be used when including them in our output.
Below are the guidelines on online use of copyrighted materials by Smaldino, Lowther and Russel (2012):
1. Contrary to popular opinion, all material on the internet is copyrighted unless stated otherwise. It is copyrighted
even if it does not display the copyright symbol
2. An email is an original work, fixed in a tangible medium of expression, that is covered by copyright. Hence it is
recommended that you should not forward any email without permission, in consideration of both copyright and
Privacy Act.
3. Downloading article from a newspaper's website, making copies, and distributing them to your students prior to a
class discussion on the topic is permissible following the current photocopying guidelines which permits making
multiple copies for classroom use. The exception would be individually bylined, copyrighted articles, or articles
from a source specifically designed for the educational market where such articles cannot be copied legally for
class distribution (adapted from Becker, 2003).
4. You cannot post students' essays, poems, or other works on the school website unless you have permission of
the students and their parents or guardians.
5. Educators should treat copyrighted materials from the internet the same way they do to print formats.
6. The best guideline is to always obtain permission. When in doubt, ask!
Copyright Infringement vs. Plagiarism
Another violation on intellectual property is plagiarism. Although plagiarism and copyright infringement are related
ideas, these two are different. Plagiarism, according to plagiarism.org, is an act of fraud; it involves both stealing someone
else's work and lying about it afterward. Plagiarism.org further elaborates the following as plagiarism:
1. turning in someone else's work as your own
2. copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
3. failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
4. giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
5. changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
6. copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not
For images, videos and music, the following are counted as plagiarism:
1. Copying media (especially images) from other websites to paste them into your own papers or websites
2. Making a video using footage from others' videos or using copyrighted music as part of the soundtrack.
3. Performing another person's copyrighted music (i.e., playing a cover).
4. Composing a piece of music that borrows heavily from another composition
In other words, plagiarism refers to copying the work of another and claiming it as one's ideas or without proper
attribution while copyright infringement is copying one's work without obtaining permission. In this sense, copyright

infringement is a violation of the right of the copyright holder while plagiarism is a violation of the right of the author. We
have to note that not all authors are copyright holders, there are cases when the publisher owns the copyright. In addition,
copyright infringement is a legal violation while plagiarism is an ethical violation.
