Discuss: Copyright, Patents, and IP in Computer Science

This is the discussion thread for the lesson "Copyright, Patents, and IP in Computer Science" (Research Methodology, Unit 5). Ask questions, share real-world examples, and help classmates who are stuck. Conversation starters. Try explaining one of these in your own words: - Explain what each of the three forms of IP — copyright, patent, trade secret — protects, and state the Indian statute covering each - Apply Section 3(k) of the Patents Act 1970 to decide whether a given algorithm or ML model is patentable in India - Explain the RSA patent case and what it illustrates about the patent bargain: disclosure in exchange for a time-limited monopoly
