Hubei University of Science and Technology responded to Hubei University of Science and Technology’s report on November 9 that a teacher from Hubei Province, Meng, had plagiarized his scientific research results and applied for a patent. After investigation by the college, the tutor Ye Huashan did commit academic misconduct of plagiarizing other people's academic achievements and improperly using other people's signatures. The college suspended Ye Huashan's application for a higher-level professional skill position for two years and canceled his qualification to apply for a postgraduate tutor within three years. punishment.
Student Meng is still not satisfied with the punishment, because the punishment does not involve Zheng Min, the second inventor of the patent application. Classmate Meng feels that as the dean of the college, it is impossible for Zheng Min to have her student invention plagiarized. Without knowing it, the tutor plagiarized the student's invention and joined the dean as the applicant for the patented invention. There must be something fishy in this. Regarding Meng's dissatisfaction, Zheng Min responded to the media that she was not involved in the entire patent approval process. Instructor Ye Huashan plagiarized other people's academic achievements. The college did have dereliction of duty, but she did not know the details of the matter. Regarding Meng's doubts, the college stated internally that the school has conducted a unified investigation and handling, and the results will be subject to the submitted documents.
This incident tells us that plagiarism of other people’s inventions occurs not only in the workplace, but also within the academy. Students must be careful when handling their own inventions to avoid plagiarism and misappropriation by teachers with evil intentions and academic misconduct. Meng used herself as an example to tell us how to protect our rights when our learning results are plagiarized. Within the scope permitted by the law, we should actively safeguard our legitimate rights and interests and resolutely suppress the emergence of thieves.
The protection of intellectual property rights has always been a top priority. As the old saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must also have the intention to guard against others. I hope all students will pay attention to intellectual property rights and protect themselves. We should start from ourselves and refuse all misappropriation of other people's materials. Once we discover any unfair plagiarism or misappropriation, we should report it to the college or relevant departments as soon as possible. It is everyone's responsibility to protect intellectual property rights.
