Intellectual Property Law in Education

Intellectual Property Law in education involves the legal protections for creations of the mind, like inventions, written works, or artistic pieces produced by faculty, students, and researchers at universities. It ensures that creators can control how their work is used and can benefit financially from it. This area of law covers copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, helping to balance the interests of individual creators with those of institutions and the public. By safeguarding intellectual property, universities promote innovation, foster creativity, and support academic integrity.
