La intellectual property refers to works that are the result of human intellect. It is a form of property that has the creator of an artistic, scientific or literary work or that which belongs to the inventor for the inventions that he has created and which includes:
 

As stated in Cercaterm, the Copyright They are the moral rights and rights of exploitation that the author of a literary, artistic or scientific work has:
 

In addition to moral and exploitation rights, there are other intellectual property rights (known as related rights, neighbors or connected), which protect the effort and the creative, technical and organizational contribution of the people or institutions that put the works to the public, participate in the cultural industries and in their relation with the public.

Copyright is the term in which the Anglo-American legislation designates the so-called "operating rights".
 

• Although legally not exactly the same, often the terms "copyright" and copyright are used as synonyms. In addition, the symbol of copyright © is used to indicate that a work is subject to copyright, with a reservation of all rights by the owner.

• Since this symbol details who is the person holding the exploitation rights, it can only be included in the work by the author of the same, from the moment of its creation, or the person holding the exploitation rights ( assignee), from the moment of the acquisition of these rights.

• The © symbol must be accompanied by the name of the holder or assignee and the year of dissemination of the work. The word "Copyright" or "Copyright" may be used instead of the © symbol, although it is recommended to use the © symbol, as stated in the Universal Copyright Convention.

The 10, 11 and 12 articles of the LPI define the works subject to copyright. In general, the law protects the vast majority of documents that we usually use in an academic and educational environment.

According to theart. 13 of the LPI, They are not copyrighted:
 

• the legal or regulatory provisions and their corresponding projects
• the resolutions of the courts and the acts, agreements, deliberations and opinions of public bodies
• The official translations of all the previous texts are not copyrighted.

As detailed in Laws, acts, rulings and intellectual property (Jorge Rodríguez-Zapata Pérez, p. 76), "eThe acts that conclude the activity of the different public powers are the laws, for the legislative powers, the regulations and acts for executive powers, and judgments and decisions for resolutions of the judiciary. "

The works of public domain These are those whose exploitation rights have been extinguished and which, therefore, can be used freely by any person provided that the authorship and the integrity of the work are respected.

All of them rights reserved to the authors (reproduction, distribution, public communication, ...) are still reserved in the Internet environment, despite the ease with which the information can be copied or disseminated.

Therefore, texts, images, photographs, design, musical sequences, videos or audiovisuals, ... from any website, are protected by legislation.

Intellectual property rights are territorial in nature, that is, each country regulates them with their laws and only guarantees their protection within their own borders.
 

Raw data is not copyrighted and, therefore, not subject to intellectual property.

However, it should be borne in mind that the databases where they appear are. As established by133 article of the LPI and the Law 5/1998 of 6 March, incorporating into Spanish law Directive 96/9 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases:
 

• The "sui generis" right on a database protects the substantial investment, qualitatively or quantitatively evaluated, made by its manufacturer either through financial means, investment of time, effort, energy or others of a similar nature, for the obtaining , verification or presentation of its content.

• By means of this right, the manufacturer of a database may prohibit the extraction and / or reuse of all or a substantial part of its content (provided that the obtaining, verification or presentation of this content represents a substantial investment from a quantitative or qualitative point of view). This right may be transferred, assigned or granted under a contractual license.

• Nor is the repeated or systematic extraction and / or reuse of non-substantial parts of the contents of the database supposed to be acts contrary to a normal exploitation of it or that cause unjustified damage to the legitimate interests of its manufacturer.

• The "sui generis" right on the data base is applied without prejudice to the possible existing rights over its content (copyright of the works included or others).
