Copyright vs Patent Protection

Here are the differences between copyright and patent

protection:

Protected Works

 Copyright: Original literary, dramatic, musical,

and artistic works, such as books, songs, movies,
software code, and photographs. Copyright
protects the expression of an idea, not the idea
itself.
 Patent: Inventions, including processes,
machines, manufactures, compositions of
matter, and improvements to these. Patents
protect the underlying idea or concept, not just
its expression.

Protection Period

 Copyright: Typically lasts for the life of the

author plus 70 years (for works created after
1978) or 95 years from publication (for works
created before 1978).
 Patent: 20 years from the date of filing, with
maintenance fees required to keep the patent
in force.

Scope of Protection

 Copyright: Prevents others from reproducing,

distributing, performing, or displaying the
protected work without permission.
 Patent: Prevents others from making, using,
selling, offering for sale, or importing the
patented invention without permission.

Registration

 Copyright: Automatic protection is granted as

soon as the work is fixed in a tangible form.
Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is
optional but provides additional benefits, such
as public recordation and potential for statutory
damages.
 Patent: Registration with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) is required to obtain
 patent protection.

Infringement

 Copyright: Infringement occurs when someone

copies or distributes a substantial portion of the
protected work without permission.
 Patent: Infringement occurs when someone
makes, uses, sells, offers for sale, or imports a
product or process that infringes on the
patented invention, regardless of whether they
copied the original design.

Examples

 Copyright: Disney’s Mickey Mouse cartoon

character (original expression of a character
design)
 Patent: A new type of hybrid engine (invention
of a new process or machine)

and the outcomes achieved.
4. Facilitate a class discussion on the effectiveness
of forensic auditing tools and criminal laws, and
potential improvements and enhancements.

Forensic Tools and Laws in Crime Detection

Forensic Auditing Tools and Criminal Laws: A
Synergistic Approach to Detecting and Prosecuting
Crime
 ViCAP Database: The Violent Criminal
Apprehension Program (ViCAP) database,
maintained by the FBI, allows for the correlation
and matching of possible connections related to
violent crimes, including sexual assaults. The
integration of forensic DNA evidence from
Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) grants into
ViCAP increases the chances of connecting
cases, finding criminals, and preventing future
offenses.
 Forensic Auditing Techniques: Forensic auditing
 tools, such as data analytics and digital
forensics, enable the detection of fraudulent
activities by analyzing financial records,
identifying irregularities, and reconstructing
transactions. These techniques help forensic
auditors to:
o Reconstruct erased records
o Decrypt and decode encrypted data
o Concentrate and sort large datasets
 Criminal Laws: Effective criminal laws, such as
those addressing fraud and corruption, provide
a legal framework for prosecution. In Nigeria,
for instance, laws need to be updated to reflect
recent advancements in forensic auditing and
innovation to ensure the admissibility of
evidence in court.
 Regulation and Professionalization: The
establishment of a constituted body to regulate
forensic auditing activities, similar to other
professions, ensures high-quality services and
promotes the development of specialized skills
and techniques.
 Perception and Expertise: Professionals in
accounting and forensic auditing agree that
forensic auditors should possess specific
knowledge, skills, and experience to provide
high-quality services in fraud detection. The
impact of forensic auditing tools on fraud
detection is evident, making them a valuable
asset in the fight against financial crimes.
