Task:

Students have to study a real life case related to copyright, trademark or patent infringement. The court adjudicating the case can be from any country, but the subject matter of the case should relate to a famous company, product or person.

Then, students need to prepare a poster presentation about their case study. A Poster is a graphic presentation of an author's research. Authors illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams and a small amount of text on the poster boards. Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use "visuals" (graphs, photographs, schematics, maps, etc.) to tell your "story." Ideally, a well-constructed poster will be self-explanatory and free you from answering obvious questions so that you are available to supplement and discuss particular points of interest. Successful poster presentations are those which achieve both coverage and clarity.

Objective of the assignment:

The assignment gives student an opportunity to work towards achieving the following student learning outcomes, stated in the course syllabus:

• Explain the principles relating to copyright ownership and exploitation

• Illustrate the principles relating to the ownership of a patent

• Identify when a copyright, trademark, patent, industrial design or trade secret has been infringed
