Define the term Intellectual Property.
Intellectual Property is a product resulting from human creativity. It can include anything
created through mental intellectual labor, as opposed to being constructed out of physical
components.
Name the seven Intellectual Properties types and explain each.

Copyright law: protects the expression of an idea but not the underlying idea
itself.

Patent law: Provides monopoly protection for inventions that meet the
requirements of utility, Novelty and nonobviousness, meaning your invention is
useful.

Trademark law: allows entities engaged in commerce to exclusively protect a
production word, symbol or design to identify their goods or services.

Trade secret law: is protection under the under state law against unauthorized use
of secret business information such as a secret formula for a protein drink.

What does Copyright protect?
Copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression,
now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or
otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. This
definition is directly taken from the U.S. Copyright Act.
When does Copyright protection start?
Copyright protection begins as soon as the work is fixed, whether it is a graphic you draw
in a computer program.

Define the term Infringement
Infringement is any unauthorized use of someone’s Intellectual property, determining
infringement varies depending on the type of intellectual property.
Define the Fair Use Doctrine
Allows limited use of copyrighted materials without permission of the copyright holder.
What will happen if you infringe Copyright?
If you infringe on someone’s copyrighted work, you could receive a polite letter or email
from the author asking you to remove the material from your website or otherwise stop
use of the work. You could get a notice demanding you cease and desist using and
distributing the copyrighted work, or you might discover that your Internet service
provider has already removed infringing content. You could face penalties of more than
$100,000 for each infringed work. You could go to jail. It all depends on the extent of the
infringement.
What is Public Domain Work?
Works that are not copyright protected are in the public domain, available for everyone to
use any they want without asking permission.

Pay-Per-Click, also known as search advertising, is a sponsored or paid link that appears in
the search results of a search engine. Whenever a user clicks a paid link, the advertiser
pays the search engine a fee.
Explain Meta tags
Meta Tags are words that contain important information about a web page such as
keywords and a content summary, specifically for search engines to index the web page or
website for search purposes. These tags are found at the top or in the head of an HTML
