Engineering Journal IJOER: Patent Consent Policy

The Patent Consent Policy of Engineering Journal IJOER ensures that authors obtain appropriate consents and permissions when including patents, personal information, or identifiable images in their work. Authors must secure written consent from patent holders or individuals involved and ensure ethical representation. The journal reserves the right to reject submissions that fail to meet legal or ethical standards.

Patent Consent Policy of Engineering Journal IJOER:

At Engineering Journal IJOER, we ensure that all articles comply with legal requirements and ethical standards, especially regarding patents, personal information, and consent. Authors must obtain proper consent and permissions if their work involves patents or includes identifiable personal information.

Requirements for Patent Consent:

A patent is a legal protection that grants its owner exclusive rights to make, use, or sell an invention for a limited time. If an author includes details about a patent or any personal information or images related to patents in their article, appropriate consent and permission must be obtained before submission. This helps us comply with all relevant privacy laws and ensures ethical use of personal or patent-related content.

Author Responsibility for Obtaining Consent:

Authors are responsible for securing all necessary consents and permissions when submitting articles that involve:

1. Patents or Personal Information: If the article includes patent images, personal details, or other identifiable information (photos, videos, recordings), the individual or patent holder must provide explicit written consent.
2. Informed Consent: Individuals or their legal guardians must be fully informed about how their personal information will be used, including the potential publication by Engineering Journal IJOER. All conditions of consent (e.g., anonymity measures) must be clearly communicated to the journal.
3. Written Consent: Authors should retain copies of all written consents, which must be provided to the journal upon request.
4. Respectful Representation: Even when consent is given, the portrayal and captioning of any individual should be respectful and free from any misrepresentation.
5. Anonymity: If identifiable characteristics are modified to protect anonymity, authors must confirm that these alterations do not affect the scientific accuracy of the work.

Handling of Patent-Related Content:

When using patent information in their research, authors are required to obtain permission from the patent holder. Engineering Journal IJOER holds the right to reject any material that fails to meet legal and ethical standards or if the consent process is deemed inadequate or suspicious.

By following to this policy, Engineering Journal IJOER ensures that all published content maintains the highest level of integrity, respecting both intellectual property and individual privacy.
