What is Intellectual Property (IP)?
Intellectual Property Law grants the owner specific exclusive rights to a range of intangible assets such as:
- Product and service names;
- Words, phrases and slogan / tag lines;
- Symbols / logos, images, sounds and designs;
- Artistic, musical, and literary works; and
- Discoveries and inventions.
There are four main types of intellectual property as follows:
- Copyrights protect authored content to be used by third parties without permission. It provides exclusive rights to the author to permit or forbid the publication, distribution or rework of original content created by the author.
- Trademark is a distinguishing name, sign or indicator used by an individual or legal entity to identify the products or services to consumers.
- Patent is a grant made by a government that allows the creator of an invention or assignee the exclusive rights to make, use and market the invention for a limited period of time in exchange for a public disclosure of an invention.
- Trade secret is a formula, process, system, tool, practice, design, instrument, etc. which is not generally known or easily discoverable and has economic value to a business and provides a competitive advantage over competitors or customers.
