New York | Intellectual Property
Legal Question
I have four questions regarding copyright:
1. In a thesis a scientist presents 10 truly unique strategies to succeed in stock trading. For a commercial purpose, am I allowed to provide my own summary of his thesis with proper citations and quotes?
2. Same question as above, but I also add a few of my own comments.
3. A researcher publishes a questionnaire. Can I use this questionnaire online for a commercial purpose without violating his copyright?
4. Same question as above, but I make a few changes in the questionnaire. I remove one question, and change the phrasing of another question. Am I allowed to do this?
All issues are related to commercial products, used in online educational material to end-users all over the world.
Thank you!
