                      •  Maintain Authenticity: We must be honest about our identity. Never pretend to be someone
                        else.
                      •  Always use a disclaimer: While sharing personal views about something, we must make it
                        clear that these are personal views.

                      •  Never pick fights on the Internet: We must convey our opinions carefully by choosing the right
                        words.
                      •  Protect your Identity: Never list your full name, parents’ details, home address, or telephone

                        personal insults or obscene language.
                      •  Respect for other's Feelings: One must always be considerate and  mindful of others’ feelings

                        on sensitive topics such as politics or religion.

                        quality of comments on a personal post/site.

                           Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

                      Intellectual property is a term that refers to the legal property rights of a person over creations
                      of his/her mind, both artistic and commercial. Under Intellectual Property Rights, the owners of

                      the property are granted exclusive rights over their creation. These creations could be artistic,
                      musical or literary in nature.
                      Intellectual Property Rights ensure that the creator’s hard work is safe and protected from any

                      unauthorised copying or piracy.

                      Types of IPR

                      There are three main types of Intellectual Property Rights:
                      •  Copyright: It is the legal right given exclusively to the person for a fixed number of years to

                        publish, record the literary, artistic, or musical use of his or her work. Copyright of work lasts for
                        70 years or even after the death of the originator.
                      •  Patent: It is the right that gives an inventor the complete right to make, use, and sell his or her
                        work for a specific time period. Usually, the validity period for a Patent is 20 years.
                      •  Trademark: It is a symbol or word legally registered or established and used as representing

                        a company or a product. Trademarks help to protect brand names, logo, and design of the
                        product. The validity period for a Trademark is 10 years and can be renewed after that.
