Intellectual Property

Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, Media Ownership, others.

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and images, that are protected by law. Intellectual property law grants owners certain exclusive rights to their creations, allowing them to benefit financially and control the use of their intellectual assets. Patents protect inventions and innovations, granting inventors the exclusive right to make, use, and sell their inventions for a limited period of time. To obtain a patent, an inventor must disclose the details of their invention to the public in a patent application, which is examined by a government patent office to determine its novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness.
