What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.

Copyright Basics

Copyright stems from the U. S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 and empowers the United States Congress -- "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Copyright is a form of legal protection that allows authors, photographers, composers, and other creators to control some reproduction and distribution of their work.

Creative Commons

-Creative Commons (CC) is an American non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.[2] The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owner (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an "all rights reserved" copyright management, with a "some rights reserved" management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees.

Choosing a license for my work.

I prefer the CC BY-NC License for all my Fab Academy documentation, the final project and all the assignments(documentation only).Creative Commons is like... It is maintained by a non-profit organization based out of America. It provide the option to legally distribute and give the work to the public. There are different flavors which the content creator can choose and make the license. I have discussed what I usually give under CC licensing. The CC is very commonly used in licensing creative contents and you can see it around the web in many places. CC is inspired from commons ideology. The licenses is generally known as "some right reserved" similar to the "All rights reserved" of copy right.
