Intellectual Property & Trademarks

Intellectual Property refers to the creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce. It's a category of legal rights that grants creators and inventors exclusive rights to their creations or inventions for a certain period of time. These rights provide creators with the ability to control how their intellectual creations are used and allow them to derive economic benefits from their work.

​

It can include copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, geographical indications, and industrial designs. Each area of intellectual property protects different rights and has various limitations and requirements for protection. Intellectual property rights aim to strike a balance between promoting innovation and creativity while allowing others to build upon existing knowledge. They incentivize inventors and creators to invest time, effort, and resources into developing new ideas and creations, knowing that they can benefit from their work.
