Intellectual Property for Technical Communicators: A Primer  

This paper presents a high-level overview of intellectual property issues, such as how to deal with patents, copyrights, and trademarks in the United States (other countries have other laws; this information may not apply to them). Technical communicators deal with intellectual property, and the protection of intellectual property, in day-to-day work. We must therefore know the basic rules for protecting our company's intellectual property interests, and must pay strict attention to dealing correctly with our and others' intellectual property matters.
