READING 1


Exercise 1. Read through the text and answer the questions.


• What is intellectual property?


• What does the term “property” imply?


• How does intellectual property protection operate?


• Compare tangible rights and intangible rights.


• What subject matters of the IP do you know?


What is intellectual property (IP)?


IP is frequently referred to as ‘the novel products of human intellectual endeavour’. Yet, the use of the term ‘property’ to describe intellectual products implies the existence of rights and, perhaps more importantly, remedies in respect of the property and any unwarranted interference with it. A property paradigm, in turn, implies a system of control to be exercised by the right holder, that is, control of the subject matter of his property right. What makes a book your book in legal terms is the fact that no one can take, use or otherwise interfere with your property without your permission. At first level, intellectual property protection operates in a similar fashion. It is concerned with identifying and policing permissible and impermissible dealing with intellectual products, usually by reference to the consent of the right holder, at least in the first instance. However, in many other respects an analogy with tangible rights — that is, property rights over physical entities — does not help us to understand what we mean by intellectual property. For example, your book will not stop being your book at midnight tonight, yet in most cases intellectual property rights eventually expire, leaving the subject matter without an owner and so free to be used or exploited by anyone. Similarly, no one can require you to lend your book to others so that they might benefit from it, whereas with certain forms of intellectual property compulsory licences can be granted to third parties to exploit the property in question. Finally, all forms of intellectual property must qualify for protection according to stringent criteria which vary depending on the kind of property right that is being sought. This is not true of the other forms of property which assume the quality of property by sheer dint of their experience.


In law, intellectual property is an umbrella term for various legal entitlements which attach to certain names, written and recorded media, and inventions. The holders of these legal entitlements may exercise various exclusive rights in relation to the subject matter of the IP. The term intellectual property reflects the idea that this subject matter is the product of the mind or the intellect. The term implies that intellectual works are analogous to physical property and is consequently a matter of some controversy.

Exercise 2. Read through the text. Specify the principal forms of intellectual property and the statutes relevant to them in the UK.


What is intellectual property law?


IP law comprises a wide range of forms of protection for intellectual property. It encompasses statutory and common law provisions and has aspects which are shaped by international, European and national consideration.


The statutory rights


There are four principal forms of intellectual property, and in the UK these are protected by statute. They are as follows:


Patents — Patents Act 1977


Patent law protects inventions, which can be described as technical solutions to technical problems. An invention can be a product or a process. An invention is the paradigmatic example of ‘industrial property’.


Copyright — Copyright, Design and Patents Act 1988


Copyright law is designed to protect aesthetic and artistic creations such as literary, musical, dramatic and artistic works — known as original works — together with derivative works such as films, sound recordings, cable programmes, broadcasts and the typographic arrangement of a published work (i.e. the way the material is laid out). Copyright was expanded considerably throughout the course of the 20th century to protect new and emerging forms of intellectual property such as computer software and databases. Copyright protection arises on the creation of a protectable work. There is no need to register the right.


Designs — Registered Designs Act 1949 and Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988


Design law protects the way in which a commercially produced article ‘looks’ and/or ‘functions’. Designs can either be protected by registration (aesthetic designs) or automatically on the creation of a design document or an article embodying the design (primarily functional designs). The two forms of protection are not mutually exclusive. There is much potential for overlap between copyright protection for artistic works and design protection.


Trade marks — Trade Marks Act 1994


Trade marks operate to distinguish the goods and services of one enterprise from those of another. They exist as badges of origin and help the consumer to avoid confusion between goods or services of variable quality. Trade mark can assist greatly in bolstering protection for goods already protected by another form of intellectual property law. For example, patent protected drugs will invariably carry their own trade mark, e.g. Valium or Aspirin. Trade mark protection is awarded by registration.
