Copyright Correct answer-In the United States a copyright is obtained by the simple act
of creating the original work. In other words, when an author writes down a song, makes a film,
or develops a computer program, the author has the copyright.
Fair use Correct answer-Fair use is a limitation on copyright law that allows for the use of
protected works without prior authorization in specific cases. For example, if a teacher wanted
to discuss a current event in class, copies of the copyrighted new story could be handed out in
class without first getting permission.
Creative Commons Correct answer-Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that
provides legal tools for artists and authors. The tools offered make it simple to license artistic or
literary work for others to use or distribute in a manner consistent with the author's intentions.
Creative Commons licenses are indicated with the symbol.
Patent Correct answer-Patents are another important form of intellectual property
protection. A patent creates protection for someone who invents a new product or process.
Trademark Correct answer-A trademark is a word, phrase, logo, shape or sound that
identifies a source of goods or services. For example, the Nike "Swoosh," the Facebook "f", and
Apple's apple (with a bite taken out of it) are all trademarked. The concept behind trademarks is
to protect the consumer.
