Today we celebrated World Intellectual
Property Day at School of Engineering And Technology.
It was celebrated with everyone followed by
the events like debate competition, Essay writing, Drawing, Slogan writing.
There were having many participants from local schools. Those all were very amazing
guys.
Most of the people are unfamiliar to this
term Intellectual Property (IP).
Intellectual Property can be defined as the
creation of the innovative things by someone such as literary, designs, symbols,
movie, picture, gadgets or some new innovative technology.
The World Intellectual Property Day is
celebrated annually at 26 of April. This event was established by the world
intellectual property organisation (WIPO) in 2000 to raise awareness of how patients,
copyrights, trademarks effect our life and to celebrate creativity and
contribution.
Now let us simplify the terms patients, Copyrights,
trademarks and how they affect us.
First of all Patients are an exclusive
rights granted for an invention i.e. patent owner having right to decide how or
whether the invention can be used by the others. In exchange for this right
patient owner will provide the technical information about the invention to the
public in the published patient document.
Copyright is the legal term used to
describe the rights of a creator over his invention, content or any other
material.
And Trademarks are the symbols which are
used to distinguish between different goods from one enterprise to other.
Why we use all these messy things ?
Ok now let me explain with an example;
Suppose Sam had created software which can
analyse how much people are there inside a room with a compatible hardware. And
he opened this info publicly. After some time he found that software in the
market having some price tag. And it is sold at a good price but the inventor
i.e. John is not getting a thing.
To prevent this type of thing Intellectual Property(IP) Day is
celebrated to create awareness among peoples. Because if John had used
copyright and had patented that software, the situation would have been some
other.
Now you have known that copyright,
Patients and trademarks are used to prevent the invention of the original
creator from stolen out. So in case that invention comes in the market then the
inventor could get the price for his work.
So these all things are very very important
for us especially engineers and designer and all the inventors.
We have various examples in the history how inventions were
stolen out and the original creator was unable to do anything.
But now we must aware our self and our friends from being
cheated.
So today we had celebrated this day . There were school guys who
had a great debate at this topic. They all were trying to explain at this complicated
topic.
Even I did not have known these topics before this day.
But today I learned and aware about this
type of things .
I hope readers will also try to understand this terms and will
aware everyone.
