One of the most common, yet controversial, issues of First Amendment law is the subject of copyright and infringement. Although the subject may not seem major at first, many different issues and controversies have risen and become more common than ever over the years. The issues that have become pertinent to this subject are endless, including trademark infringement, piracy, theft, fraud, plagiarism, and many more. With the coming of age and advancement of technology, these cases have become more common and appear more often than ever before. Government officials have always been strict about copyright rulings, and have tried to deliver fair and just rulings for both parties involved under First Amendment rules. Because the owner’s work and material is protected under the First Amendment, it gets tricky when involving another party that can claim the same work of art. In short, the definition of copyright has always been cut and dry: allowing owners of creative works the right to control and profit from their creations. It is basically recognized as a form of property ownership.

With the rise of digital technology, copying ability became vast and complex and hence the idea of originality is thrown into

Intellectual property refers to the nonphysical property that is legally protected and owned. Intellectual property includes properties such as copyright, trade secret, patent, or even ideas. Intellectual property is called so as it is the creation of human intellect. The right enjoyed by creators over an intellectual property is called the intellectual property right.

“Intellectual property law is that area of law which concerns legal rights associated with creative effort or commercial reputation and goodwill” (Bainbridge, 2006, p. 03). The law exists to discourage others taking unfair advantage or copying the creative work of another person or group (Bainbridge, 2006). A country’s system of intellectual property rights has set standards to establish a creator’s rights, in order to prevent others from exploiting the economic value of their artistic endeavors, and have actions in place if the exploitation were to occur (Maskus, 2000). Some rights are there to benefit large corporations, while others are there to simply prevent unfair use

Intellectual property is an exclusive set of rights given to the owner. These rights are given over intangible assets, “An asset that is not physical in nature.

There is such a legal concept as "intellectual property". Intellectual property is defined as the creation of any intellectual innovation by an individual such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. The law provides him exclusive rights to this innovation and is strictly against theft or plagiarism in any way. Innovators can safeguard their property by one or more of the following: copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and in some jurisdictions trade secrets.. Copyrights, patents, and trade secrets are each authored by different Offices. Each is based on the Laws of Commerce. (LII. Intellectual property). Cultural attitudes, in fact, esteem words and knowledge above that of certain other property, since knowledge is something that cannot be as easily duplicated as, for instance, an article of common furniture can.

Copyright laws were established to provide authors with rights over their creations and to prevent unauthorized use and distribution of these creations by others. Although the law grants ownership to one party, usually the author of the work, there is a doctrine for granting ownership of “work-made-for-hire” to educational institutions (Crews, 2006). This doctrine supports that if the employee developed the work under the parameters of their scope of employment or through the use of resources provided by the employer, then the employer owns the rights to the work (Crews, 2006). In an effort to clarify the mandates of copyright law and improve understanding of intellectual property ownership, educational institutions have developed their own policies addressing intellectual property ownership. The policies vary by institution, but share the same purpose of providing guidelines and conditions for ownership of creations by the educational institution’s faculty.
