Türk Özel Hukuk Sisteminde İntihal

Abstract

The use of the works, produced by individuals through their long efforts, without referencing authors, causes individuals interest to reduce studying and producing works. These uses without referencing the author, not only affect the authors, but also the societies that benefit from these works. The aim of academic studies is to take new steps that will bring societies forward and to lead to inventions. However, the works which are re-launched with the name of another person without any additional inclusion in the essence, will not provide any benefit to the society. At this point, the plagiarism of a work, whether partially or as a whole, without repeating the rules of quotation, is unfortunately carried out frequently in our country. In our study, the ownership of the works, the boundaries of the authors, the concept of plagiarism, the legal, administrative and criminal ways that the owner of the work that plagiarized can apply, has been conveyed with the doctrine and the Supreme Court application.
