Intellectual Property

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

To prepare for a study of intellectual property rights, (or an assessment) introduce your learners to the legal concepts and key vocabulary associated with the debate. After defining intellectual property, copyright, fair use, and piracy, the class is presented with a list of items and asked to decide which items are examples of intellectual property, and a series of scenarios, and then they are asked to decide if the use is lawful or unlawful.
