Copyright issues and

Trademarks
What's the difference
between a copyright vs.
trademark?
Copyright protects literary and artistic materials and
works, such as books and videos, and is automatically
generated upon creation of the work.

A trademark, on the other hand, protects items that

help define a company brand, such as a business logo
or slogan, and require more extensive registration
through the government for the greatest legal
protections.
What does a copyright protect?
A copyright is a form of intellectual property protection that covers
original works and is generated automatically by the creation of those
works.
Copyright protects literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works,
including:

•Poetry
•Novels
•Other forms of original writing
•Art
•Research
•Movies
•Songs
•Other forms of audio and video materials
•Computer software
•Architecture
What does a trademark protect?

A trademark, on the other hand, is a form of intellectual

property protection that covers words, phrases, symbols,
or designs that distinguish a particular brand (or source of
goods) in comparison to others.
Therefore, a trademark protects items such as:
•Brand names
•Logos
•Business names
•Slogans
What Is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism means using someone

else’s work without giving them
proper credit. In academic writing,
plagiarizing involves using words,
ideas, or information from a source
without citing it correctly.
The 5 Types of Plagiarism
•Global plagiarism means passing off an entire text by
someone else as your own work.
•Verbatim plagiarism means directly copying someone
else’s words.
•Paraphrasing plagiarism means rephrasing someone
else’s ideas to present them as your own.
•Patchwork plagiarism means stitching together parts of
different sources to create your text.
•Self-plagiarism means recycling your own past work.
You can avoid plagiarism by:

1.Keeping track of the sources you consult in your research

2.Paraphrasing or quoting from your sources (by using a
paraphrasing tool and adding your own ideas)
3.Crediting the original author in an in-text citation and in your
reference list
4.Using a plagiarism checker before you submit
Ownership

give away a thing. Ownership can be tangible such
as personal property and land, or it can be of
intangible things such as intellectual property
rights.
