Answer by Stephen K
All of it.

Ariel is the intellectual property of Disney. The team of animators, writers and voice actors worked together to create this vibrant character, although Disney retains all rights to the character

Every single animated character you see, Batman, Mahoro Ando, kakashi, Thumbelina, Light Yamagi, Shinobu, Pikachu, Joe Camel, Charlie the tuna, all of them are copyrighted, potentially registered trademark and fiercely guarded and protected by the parent company.

You just have to figure out a way to make a character that is compelling enough to warrent all you wish and protect them when they are violated

Question by : Should the US government be wasting resources pursuing intellectual property losses in China?
When you hear about “intellectual property losses” in China, it’s usually because a US firm that was operating profitably in the US but chose to relocate to China to make a quick buck subbed out work to a Chinese subcontractor. Those subcontractors are notorious for adding the parts they’re contracted to make to their products catalog and selling items to other firms without paying royalties to the firm that designed the part.

Why should the US government concern themselves with intellectual property losses for firms that are sending jobs overseas and which are run by business managers who are too lazy and stupid to take care of their own business or vet their suppliers?

The use of a trademark is for the exclusive indentifying of a commercial source or origin for a product or service. These sources of information or badges as they have been come to be called have existed for a long time. Trademarks can be traced all the way back as far as the Roman Empire. Believed to be the first users of trademarks, this was how blacksmiths would keep track of one another?s work when designing armor and weapons most notably swords. There have been other well-known trademarks through the ancient years such as the lion mark used by Löwenbräu and the Stella Artois which date back to 1366. By 1877, the United Kingdom used a Bass Red Triangle which became the first registered trademark under the Trade Mark Registration Act of 1875. 1884 saw Samson Rope use a picture of Samson wrestling a lion in the United States used as a trademark logo. Trademarks rise out of the need to maintain exclusive rights over a sign or relation to certain products or services so that these items can be burned into memories and used as a form of simple landmark association. Intellectual property is a bit different in this regard. Intellectual property refers to any number of distinct creations of the mind for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized. However these rights need to adhere to corresponding fields of law. Under these laws, owners and creators are granted rights to a series of intangible assets. These assets can be anything from musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types exist for these properties such as copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial rights and even including trade secrets. It wasn?t until the 19th century that intellectual property was even an accepted form of copyrighted material. Originally used as far back as 1867 with the North German Confederation, their constitution granted legislative power over intellectual property. Eventually the use of intellectual property appeared in Paris in 1883 and other countries over time. It wasn?t until the late 20th century that intellectual property law became common place in the United States. The whole of intellectual property can be traced back to the British Statue of Anne in 1710 and the Statute of Monopolies in 1623; these two statutes are seen as the origins of trademark and intellectual property laws. Today, these laws protect millions of people who have invented or written some extraordinary works of art and design.

Exhibition industry, belonging to the field of trade in service, is a fresh troop in information industry. As the economic globalization intensifies, various exhibitions in China also started being carried out like a raging fire. The core of exhibition industry itself is creativity, and related contents involving intellectual property rights should be protected legally. However, as the most important chain of exhibition industry, the exhibitor is the exhibition project owner and cares most about how to protect the intellectual rights of exhibition project, preventing the project from being imitated.

So far in China, there are no explicit laws and regulations on the intellectual property protection of the exhibitors or designers, and exhibition industry has not formed a national association yet, in addition, qualification authentication for exhibitors is blank. Therefore, many famous and effective exhibitions are imitated frequently and some even only change the name of district. Based on the above situations, this paper will introduce the ways and strategies to protect intellectual property to exhibitors on the basis of China’s current intellectual property legal frameworks.

1.Protection on the exhibition emblem

Exhibitors can apply for registered trademark according to China’s Trademark Law in order to protect exhibition emblem form being plagiarized, misappropriated or cloned. Trademark registration is a sort of legal procedure. Trademark registrant firstly files an application, and if there is no objection or the raised objection is inconsistent within three months after the preliminary examination and public announcement, the registration of trademark would become effective and be protected by law. The trademark registrant will have the exclusive right of this trademark. It takes one year or one and a half years from application to approval of registration. The validity of the registered trademark is 10 years, since the date of approval of the registration. If registrant needs to use the registered trademark sequentially, he can apply for renewal of trademark registration.

Once the behaviors of violating the registered trademark are found, one may first issue a warning letter to the infringing party, and ask them to stop the infringement. If the other party still disregard totally, one can request for investigation to the industrial and commercial administrative department above the country level. In this way, if you are a foreigner or foreign enterprise, you should handle it through the designated trademark agency. And the third way is, if the infringement is serious, one can lodge a complaint to the People’s Court where infringer lives or the infringement occurs.

2.Protection on the exhibition projection

However, exhibition registered emblem is only one aspect among exhibitors’ intellectual property protection. Exhibitors care more about intellectual property protection on “originality” in exhibition project, such as the subject and content. Some personal opinions will be discussed as followed:

According to China’s current laws, exhibition can not register with its name, thus, in order to protect the intellectual property from being infringed, the owner of exhibition project should try to determine the intellectual property in texts or graphics before the exhibition is held, for example, nail down the theme of the exhibition in the approved prospectus, define the designs and plans to express or highlight the theme. In addition, in order to prevent the design scheme being plagiarized during the whole designing and producing process, confidentiality agreements should be signed by the partners.

However, only these prevention methods are far from enough. China’s exhibition industry is still in the stage of growth and the corresponding legal norms and industry rules are immature, so it will give some illegal businessmen possibilities to copy or plagiarize exhibition project. Therefore, exhibitors need to find out promptly the exhibitions with similar projects all over the country to ensure their projects are not counterfeited. Once the similar exhibitions are found out, exhibiters should collect evidences immediately, for example, the same exhibition project themes, similar exhibition design and emblem. After obtaining enough reliable evidences, the exhibitors can win the initiative role when assert one’s rights, and inhibit others infringing his intellectual prosperity.

Intellectual Property is an intangible asset. It is a creation of human mind. It can have commercial as well as artistic. The songs of Beatles are famous all over the world. The Beatles has exclusive rights over the lyrics or the composition of each son that they have created. As result people selling or tampering with their lyrics may be persecuted by law of the land where the crime has been committed. This is because their CDs and albums are sold around the globe. Different nations have their own domestic Intellectual Property Rights.

It is believed that the law related to intellectual property has evolved from early jewish law. In USA the concept first received focus in a landmark case ? Devoll et al. versus Brown before the Massachusetts Circuit Court (1845).

United Nations controls the international scenario related to Intellectual Property Rights. She does this with the help of World Intellectual Property Organization (founded in 1967) with its base in Geneva, Netherlands.

There are several types of items that fall under the domain of Intellectual Property:-? Copyrights- This item is basically rights over artistic or literary work. For example an author can copyright the distribution, copying, editing of his book by virtue of this over a period of time from the time of creation. Incase of anonymous people copyright spans over a much shorter period of time.? Trademarks- It is nothing but a symbol by which a company is recognized. For example the blue and white circular symbol of BMW, reflecting its Bavarian origin.? Patents- This is related to discoveries.? Industrial design rights- This is to protect different models from being copied or replicated by rival companies.? Trade secrets- Say for instance wall mart wants to protect the method they use in conducting their retail business around the globe.

Africa, the ?dark continent?, has many natural resources and local art and culture which need to be preserved. As a result several African nations have come forward under the umbrella of a pan African intellectual property right protection body known as African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (A.R.I.P.O).

Member nations include- Liberia, Namibia, Somalia, Zimbabwe, etc. There are 13 African nations working as observers. Liberia is unique among African nations in this respect. This is because Liberia is the only nation that has not been colonized by any European power. Instead the Afro-American slaves after abolition of slavery in USA have settled this nation.

It is counted among one of the poorest nations of the world. As per statistics, 85% of population earns about @.25 per day. Socio-religious customs have its root back in American south. The legislative, executive and the judicial wing closely replicated US structure.

It is known for its cultural skills as well as for its arts and craftsmanship like quilting, ornamental masks, wooden carvings, drums, etc. As a result protecting the techniques and design styles for unscrupulous giant corporations may be the call of the day. Edward Wilmot Blyden, Marcus Gravy, etc. are among the most renowned Liberian authors.

In case a Liberian wants to protect his/her talent or a particular item that comes under Intellectual Property should contact a Liberia Copyright Lawyer.
