Sažetak
In the era of globalization, there is a pressing need to inform college students about intellectual property rights and related law. Real production, the driving force behind every nation's progress, may be created from intellectual property. College students should cultivate their awareness of intellectual property rights because they will be the primary producers and users of intellectual property in the future. Students currently face issues such as lack of education courses, a lack of knowledge reserves, and a lack of legal thinking about intellectual property. Intellectual property is an integral part of the sports world. Sport and its linked activities are developing along with several new phenomena, difficulties, and risks, requiring strict observation and legal compliance. The rise of counterfeiting and piracy has many negative impacts on society and the world of sports. The two primary IP rights in sports historically have been copyright and trademarks. While copyright and trademarks serve as the foundation for many industries (such as broadcasting, fashion, and brand value), it is important to use other types of IP rights to safeguard content and creative work. For instance, the development of advanced technology has led to an increase in research- based, cutting-edge athletic goods. These goods consequently need robust patent protection. Every sport possesses an innovative element, but without IP, sports cannot develop into a profitable asset. In view of these facts, the current study was conducted to determine the level of IP rights knowledge among college students of Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb. The descriptive research method was used for this investigation: the study was conducted through an altered, revised questionnaire. Students of the final year of the Integrated undergraduate and graduate university study Kinesiology participated in the research. There were three sections to the questionnaire. The students' demographic data was gathered in the first section. The second half of the survey consisted of a list of questions to test students' knowledge in the various categories of intellectual property, while the final section was a list of statements to evaluate students' comprehension of copyright protection. The expected results of the survey will show that out of the most known IP rights (patents, designs, copyright, and trademarks) copyright is the most often encountered in students research and therefore the most known to participants. Finally, the outcome of this study will inform projects in the field of Intellectual and Industrial property, such as the ERASMUS + IPEDU project, which aim at forecasting the needs of the future labor market regarding Industrial Property while introducing education and proposing curricula in this field.
