Lan Yang, Zhiqiang Ding · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1999
Computer software intellectual property right (IPR) protection has become an important issue of universal concern. This paper, based on a survey conducted in five Chinese universities reveals the importance of teaching the subject of computer software IPR to computer science students. The paper discusses the development of educational material that highlights the technical, cultural, legal and regulatory, and business factors related to computer software IPR. It also proposes an educational program for enhancing IPR protection, which can be incorporated into the undergraduate and graduate curricula of computer science.
