How do Intellectual Property Rights provide protection to digital work? Write any two ways to avoid plagiarism.

Intellectual Property Rights lie with the owner and legally grant them the right to decide who all and in what form can use their digital work. These legal rights are granted through patents, copyrights, trademarks, geographical indications, etc. and they prevent others from using, copying, or distributing the work without permission.

Two ways to avoid plagiarism are:

1. One must specify the source, which informs the reader about the basis of one's ideas and the extent of one's research.
2. One should refer to several sources, understand the concept, and then pen down one's understanding of the topic.
