What intellectual property Nicholas invents, develops,
and distributes a new video
game. He also writes a "Cheat"
book that is available for
purchase by each person who
buys one of his video games.
However, he does not apply for
any type of intellectual
property protection. Morgan
Corp buys a Nicholas video
game and "Cheat" book,
analyzes it, and produces a
clone of both
products.Nicholas files ssuit
against Morgan Corp., alleging
violations of intellectual
property laws.

Copyright is automatic, but must be registered (in the USA) prior to filing a lawsuit in federal court. The case will be dismissed unless Nicholas applies for and is granted a copyright certificate. The software is copyrightable, the displays are copyrightable, the cheat book is copyrightable. Making a profit from copyrighted works without permission is a federal crime. Other IP laws include "unfair competition" and there could be a claim that Morgan Corp has "stolen" the ideas for the game from Nicholas and misrepresented them as its own development. Similarly, the Nicholas game probably has a distinctive "look and feel" that could be perceived as an indication of the source and quality of the game, thus becoming a de facto trademark (or trade dress) owned by Nicholas. Under the federal Lanham Act (and similar state laws), there would be a claim for trademark infringement, even without a trademark registration, if the game was "used in interstate commerce" with the distinctive look and feel attributable to Nicholas. |

Why did the intellectual I'd really appreciate if some
one can explain the answers to
following questions as soon as
possible.
1. Why did the intellectual
property rights start? (what
was the need)
2. Who invented them?
3. Which was the very first
country to introduce it?
4. Who introduced this term
for the very first time?
Plus, it will be of great help
to me if anyone could also
explain how did the concept of
intellectual rights come to
Pakistan?

In the United States, the Patent office was established around 1804 by Thomas Jefferson. The idea behind it was to promote innovation by trading an exclusive right to an inventor in exchange for publishing all the secrets to that invention. That is, the inventor has to make public how the invention works. They are protected for a period of time in that nobody else can sell their invention. But, in the meantime, others can see how the invention works and try to make something better. The inventor who has the patent is also encouraged to make improvements on their product knowing that their exclusive right to it won't last forever. The idea of intellectual property goes back before that. The first use of it that I know of is the issuing of Copyrights to particular printers by the monarch of England. This allowed the monarch to have some control of the publishing of information but also enabled publishers to make a profit from publishing books and political treatises. That doesn't answer all of your question but I hope it provides some information to you. |
