Chapter eight of Ethics and Technology: Controversies, Questions, and Strategies for Ethical Computing by Herman T. Tavani is about intellectual property disputes. Tavani defines intellectual property as an intangible form of property that is protected by a system of laws through which authors and inventors are given ownership rights over their creative works and inventions. There are four legal frameworks for protecting intellectual property. The first of these is copyright laws. Copyright laws protect authors. An author can also be an individual or an entity such as an organization or corporation. The first United States copyright law was created in 1790 and protected books, maps, and charts.

In order for something to be protected with copyright laws it must be original, nonfunctional, and also fixed in a tangible medium. The second legal framework is patents which protects individuals who create an invention or process. Patent laws require that inventions be useful, novel, and nonobvious. The third legal framework is trademarks. A trademark is a word, name, phrase or symbol that identifies a product or service. To qualify for a trademark the mark should be distinctive.

Therefore, students and staff may have authorized access to computer resources, but then go on to use these resources improperly. They may have a school/library Internet account, or they may use computer system or computer network or computer software that is owned by the school, or they may use computerized services given by the school, and do too in a way that does not meet the school’s standards for proper use of that particular
