Section 1: Research
Intellectual property and
copyright standard/legislation
Research and identify ICT
industry standards for
intellectual property, as well as
copyright legislation.
Describe at least one standard
for intellectual property and
the main legislation for
copyright.
Describe how you know the
source of this information is
reliable thereby ensuring the
integrity of information.
Explain the outcomes of
complying with and not
complying with intellectual
property requirements (at least
one example of each).
Privacy legislation
Research and identify existing
legislation relevant to privacy.
Identify the name of the Act
and describe the key purpose
of this legislation.
Describe how you know the
ICT industry standards for intellectual property relate to general IP
laws.
Patent protection:
An Australian patent provides a legal right to stop another person or
a third party to copy, manufacture use or sell an in invention without
putting it in the knowledge of the inventor/creator basically it is used
as a license to manufacture something on agreed terms
Trade mark protection:
This is a well developed Australian trade mark protection law that
protects the intellectual property of any individual or businesses. In
this businesses can register a specific trade mark as a marketing
tool which eventually prevent others from using that specific brand
which is being covered by trade mark protection law.
For any business, legislation would be:
 Copyright Act 1968
 Patents Act 1990
 Trade Marks Act 1995
Copyright is granted by law and in Australia that law is the Australian
Copyright Act 1968 (Act). In Australia most copyright is automatic,
although adding © Copyright logo with your name and the date can
help to ensure that not only is it clear internally that you did create
the IP but also that third parties will be reminded it is your copyright.
There are instances where automatic copyright is not enough; that is
where other forms of IP protection such as Patents and Trademarks
come into play.
This information is from a reliable source as researched peak
bodies/government department websites to find this information.
If you comply with intellectual property requirements, then the
business will be adhering to the law If you don't then there can be
great risks to the business such as litigation.
Privacy legislation in Australia is covered by the Privacy Act 1988.
Information should be only kept if required for use, accurately
maintained and accessible to only those who are authorised to do
so. Privacy relates to respecting the rights of an individual to have
their personal information collected, stored and maintained
appropriately.
The act is the Privacy Act. The key purpose of this act is to protect
the privacy of individuals and to ensure personal information is
