Abstract: In the age of network information, with the convenience of knowledge dissemination and sharing, college teachers often walk on the edge of intellectual property infringement in the process of knowledge application and innovation. Without correct understanding of intellectual property and necessary knowledge, the probability of various infringements in scientific research activities will greatly increase. In order to avoid infringing other people’s intellectual property rights, teachers should correct their understanding, advocate science and study rigorously, study laws of intellectual property in depth, raise awareness and ability of intellectual property protection, strengthen academic self-discipline, master academic norms and avoid academic misconduct.

Key words: intellectual property right, infringement, academic misconduct
