3. Concept of Intellectual Property • Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind • The term intellectual property refers broadly to the creations of the human mind. • Intellectual property rights protect the interests of creators

4. List of subject matter protected by Intellectual property rights • literary, artistic and scientific works; • performances of performing artists, phonograms, and broadcasts; • inventions in all fields of human endeavor; • scientific discoveries; • industrial designs; • trademarks, service marks, and commercial names and designations; • protection against unfair competition; and • “all other rights resulting from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary or artistic fields.”

5. Importance of Intellectual Property(Key issues! ) • The intellectual property rights were essentially recognized and accepted all over the world due to some very important reasons. 1. To provide incentive to the individual for new creations.2. Providing due recognition to creators and inventors.3. Ensuring material reward for intellectual property.4. Ensuring the availability of the genuine and original products

6. Why we should know and protect IP(Suggestions! ) • Piracy, counterfeiting and the theft of intellectual property assets pose a serious threat to all American businesses. • Exporters face unfair competition abroad, non-exporters face counterfeit imports at home and all businesses face legal, health and safety risks from the threat of counterfeit goods entering their supply chains.

8. Example sentence “At  first  glance,  the  role  of  resource  wealth  in  economic  development  looks  like  a  question  of  dwindling  importance.  In  1970,  80.4  percent  of  the  developing  world's  export  earnings  came  from  primary  commodities;  by  1993  it  had  dropped  to  34.2  percent.”  (Ross  1999:  297‐298). IF  YOU  WRITE At  first  glance,  the  role  of  resource  wealth  in  economic  development  looks  like  a  question  of  dwindling  importance.  In  1970,  80.4  percent  of  the  developing  world's  export  earnings  came  from  primary  commodities;  by  1993  it  had  dropped  to  34.2  percent.  (Ross  1999:  297‐298). IS  IT  PLAGIARISM? YES!!!

9. Another  Example  Sentence “A  central  claim  in  this  context  is  that  although  such  a  transformation  is  clearly  possible  and  the  norms  of  liberal  democracy  can  be firmly  entrenched  in  a  predominantly  Muslim  society,  this  outcome  in  Turkey  is  context‐specific,  and  is  conditional  upon  the  coexistence  and  the  interplay  over  time  of  several  favourable internal  and  external  processes”  (Öniş2006:1). IF  YOU  WRITE It  is  clear  that  liberal  democracy  is  compatible  with  Islam,  although  some  authors  argue  that  political  outcomes  in  Muslim  countries  depend  on  specific  contextual  factors  (Öniş2006:1). IS  IT  PLAGIARISM? NO

10. Definition of plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on Misconduct in Research as “ . . . the appropriation of another person’s ideas, processes, results or words without giving appropriate credit.” How can I check for plagiarism in my own work? Ask yourself: Does my work draw upon the intellectual work of other people? If the answer is "yes" or "partly," then you must acknowledge your debt by documenting your sources.

11. Why Academic Honesty is important? If you do have writing problems, identifying them early will give you plenty of opportunity to improve your skills (e.g., working closely with the lecturers in the Writing and Communication Center). You will engage with the ideas and thus deepen your own critical thinking and writing skills. You will add authority to what you write by citing sources. You will learn to question all ideas. Simply using the ideas of others prevents us from questioning or judging ideas, and this approach can lead to a willingness to accept ideas without question (a profoundly dangerous thing to do in any profession or society). Without struggling to understand, interpret, and argue with ideas, your own ideas never develop fully, and you will tend to see issues superficially (again, a profoundly dangerous thing in any profession and in any society). You will learn to voice your own ideas. You will avoid the penalties of plagiarism if you get caught Why Students Need to Know About Plagiarism ? Plagiarism is taken very seriously and findings of plagiarism can result in a variety of disciplinary and corrective activities including formal reprimands, disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion, and rescinding a degree.

12. Key  Issues • Direct  quotes:  must  be  in  quotation  marks • Paraphrasing:  must  be  cited,  not  sufficient  simply  to  change  word  order

14. conclusion Avoid Plagiarizing by Citing Sources There are five basic rules regarding the use of information in professional and in academic writing: • If you use the language of your source, you must quote it exactly, enclose it in quotation marks, and cite the source. • If you use ideas or information that are not common knowledge, you must cite the source. • If you didn’t invent it, cite the source. • Unless your professor explicitly tells you to paraphrase, don’t paraphrase. • When in doubt, cite the source. Doing so can only enhance your readers sense of your honesty.

15. Suggestions As you are preparing for an assignment • make a list of all sources as you consult them.This includes websites that you come across while searching for a particular topic or just surfing. Write down all necessary bibliographic information immediately. Not only will this strategy save time and effort later, but it will also help prevent your forgetting which sources you’ve consulted. • keep track of which ideas and phrases come from which source. Use quotation marks precisely around phrases directly cited from a source. Write down page numbers. • clearly distinguish your own ideas from those of others. Don’t mix your own opinions into notes taken from another source. As you write • set off direct citations with quotation marks or indenting • clearly indicate where an external source begins and ends: (e.g. “As Robert Tavernor claims in his book, On Alberti and the Art of Building, fifteenth-century scholars admired Alberti’s prose much more than scholars do today (ix). I believe this contention to be essentially true.”) • where necessary, attach a list at the end where full bibliographic entries can be found Before you submit an assignment • check thoroughly that you’ve properly documented all direct and indirect citations. • consult with your instructor if you have questions. Any submitted work is assumed to be your own except where you have clearly indicated and documented the use of external sources.
