About the Book
This book presents a comprehensive discussion on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Copyright and their growing importance across various fields including agriculture, biotechnology, library and information science, technology, education, and industry. With the rapid advancement of science and technology and the increasing availability of copying and duplication technologies, issues related to intellectual property protection have become more significant than ever before.
The publication explains how intellectual property rights and copyright extend beyond printed materials to include patents, industrial designs, trademarks, trade secrets, integrated circuit layout designs, computer programs, biological resources, cultural heritage, and artistic and literary works. It highlights the serious concerns arising from unauthorized copying, misuse, and violations of intellectual property in the modern information society.
Special attention has been given to the role of librarians and information professionals, whose work is closely connected with the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information resources. The book emphasizes that merely creating laws is not enough; effective implementation and widespread public awareness are equally important for protecting intellectual property rights. Educational institutions and information professionals are identified as key contributors in building such awareness.
The volume is organized into four major sections. The first section discusses the need and importance of Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright. The second section examines the relationship between IPR and Information Technology. The third section focuses on copyright violations and librarianship, while the fourth section discusses intellectual property rights at the international level.
