Sharing at the workshop, Lawyer Le Xuan Loc (a member of T&G Law Firm) also gave a speech on the issue of identifying intellectual property at universities and respecting IP rights among students. Accordingly, types of intellectual property at universities usually include: intellectual property from teaching and learning activities of lecturers and students; intellectual property from scientific research activities; intellectual property from other professional and extracurricular activities; intellectual property from cooperation with partners outside the school.
Lawyer Le Xuan Loc also pointed out that some common acts of infringing upon students' IP rights are copying works; using fake books/story/other goods; use unlicensed software; watch movies, listen to music from pirated websites.
