1. How can the Intellectual Property Code protect the rights of
inventors, scientists, and artists?

authors, inventors, scientists, and artists, but it also provides
proper recognition and accreditation to the intellectual works and
creativity that these creative individuals have created, exhibited,
and discovered. These merits allow the owners to have the rights
to oversee what’s happening in their protected intellectual works.
Not only that, but it also protects the creative minds of these
individuals that ensues artistic and economic development
throughout the world. Without the Intellectual Property Code,
there would be no way to recognize and credit original works
since it can be claimed by everyone as their own and no one
would admit that they just stole the works and idea of others.

2. What acts are considered as violations of the intellectual property?

accreditation to the owner is considered as a violation of the
Intellectual Property code. Copyright Infringement is an example
of this violation as it is the unauthorized usage of copyright-
protected material. Under this violation is piracy and digital
piracy, which is the reproduction of a copyrighted work physically
and digitally without the permission of the owner. In addition,
counterfeiting is the act of imitating or forgering a material or
goods with the intent to deceive consumers that the products
sold are real and original.
3. Why is it important to protect intellectual property?
- Protection of intellectual property is valuable especially in today’s
time where communication and technology continue to advance.
It gives proper recognition to the hard work and labor that these
creative individuals had spent to create these intellectual works. It
is also essential in promoting innovation as it also helps in artistic
and economic development of the world. New
