    Which of the following is not included within the meaning of intellectual property?

    • Patents

    • Trademarks

    • Property Law

    • Copyright

    Correct Answer
    A. Property Law
    Explanation
    Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, and designs, which are protected by various laws. Patents, trademarks, and copyright are all examples of intellectual property rights. However, property law, as mentioned in the question, is not a specific type of intellectual property right. Property law encompasses a broader range of legal principles and regulations that govern the ownership, use, and transfer of all types of property, including intellectual property. Therefore, property law is not included within the meaning of intellectual property.

    Correct Answer
    A. Abettor
    Explanation
    An abettor is a person who assists or encourages the commission of an offense. They may not directly participate in the actual act, but their actions or encouragement contribute to the crime being committed. A conspirator, on the other hand, refers to a person who plans or agrees with others to commit a crime. An approver is someone who confesses to their involvement in a crime and provides evidence against others involved. Therefore, the correct answer for the person who aids the commission of an offense is an abettor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Parole
    Explanation
    Parole refers to the release of a prisoner before the completion of their actual sentence, but under certain conditions and supervision. It allows the individual to serve the rest of their sentence in the community, rather than in prison. This is different from probation, which is a form of punishment where the offender is allowed to remain in the community under specific conditions. Acquittal refers to a legal finding of not guilty, and discharge refers to the release of a prisoner after the completion of their sentence.

    Rights and Duties are

    • Separated

    • Co-ordinated

    Correct Answer
    A. Corelated
    Explanation
    Rights and duties are correlated because they are interconnected and dependent on each other. Rights are the entitlements or freedoms that individuals possess, while duties are the obligations or responsibilities that individuals have towards others or society. The exercise of rights often requires individuals to fulfill their corresponding duties. For example, the right to freedom of speech comes with the duty to use that freedom responsibly and not harm others. Therefore, rights and duties are closely connected and influence each other in maintaining a balanced and harmonious society.
