Abstract

Intellectual property (IP) is of pivotal importance to the STM journal sector since it provides the legal protection for authors and the content in a publisher’s journal. There are 4 types of IP (i.e., trademarks; trade secrets; patents; and copyright), and all are significant. But most publishers worry about copyright issues because of threats from pirates and copyright infringers. Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States provided the legal protection for IP. However, the Congress had to pass laws that stipulated the terms, rights, and obligations of IP holders. Eventually the U.S. codified its copyright laws into the “Copyright Law of the United States,” which is 17 U.S.C. (United States Code). Various STM publishers, over the years, confronted pernicious copyright infringement problems, including the famous Sci-Hub litigation in: the U.S. District Court (in the Southern District of New York); and in India.
