In other words, because you are not giving attribution to the owner of the original work or idea -- you are presenting the idea or thought as your own.Plagiarism is a violation of academic norms but copyright violation is illegal but quite common in academia.Plagiarism is an offense against the author; copyright violation is an offense against the copyright holder. In traditional academic publishing, they are usually not the same person, because copyright transfer agreements (CTAs) are so common.Plagiarism applies when ideas are copied; copyright violation occurs only when a specific fixed expression (e.g., sequence of words, use of an image) is copied. Prof.Sanjay Gupta delivered lecture on the topic “Intellectual property rights”.He said that Intellectual property (IP) pertains to any original creation of the human intellect such as artistic, literary, technical, or scientific creation. The laws and administrative procedures relating to IPR have their roots in Europe. The trend of granting patents started in the fourteenth century. In comparison to other European countries, in some matters England was technologically advanced and used to attract artisans from elsewhere, on special terms. The first known copyrights appeared in Italy. Originally, only patent, trademarks, and industrial designs were protected as ‘Industrial Property’, but now the term ‘Intellectual Property’ has a much wider meaning.
