What is Intellectual Property?<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Intellectual property is about creations of the mind. It can include inventions, creative work, designs, names and brands.
Some common types of IP are:
* Copyright \u2013 protects original creative work, such as writing, music, images and computer programs.
* Patents \u2013 can protect new inventions and technical ideas.
* Trademarks \u2013 protect names, logos, symbols or other signs used to identify a business or its products.
* Registered designs \u2013 can protect the visual appearance of a product.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Why is IP Important in IT?<\/h4>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

IP is important in the IT industry because developers and businesses create software, websites, apps, logos and other digital products.For example, if a developer creates an original website or computer program, copyright may help protect that work.
Businesses can also use trade marks to protect their brand name or logo.IT professionals should also avoid copying or using someone else\u2019s work without checking whether they have permission.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

M\u0101ori Culture and Intellectual Property<\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Intellectual property can also relate to M\u0101ori culture, language and m\u0101tauranga M\u0101ori. Some M\u0101ori knowledge and cultural expressions have been passed down through generations and may be connected to a whole community rather than one individual. Because of this, M\u0101ori cultural material should be used carefully and respectfully.
IT professionals should consider cultural values and avoid using M\u0101ori designs, language or knowledge in an inappropriate way.
Why Should We Respect IP?
Respecting intellectual property helps encourage creativity and new ideas. It also helps protect the work of creators and businesses.For IT professionals, understanding IP rights can help them create and use digital content in a legal and responsible way.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
