Introduction to Intellectual Property

Table of Contents

Intellectual Property (I.P.) is an intangible property that is a creation of the mind, has a commercial value and therefore can be protected or owned. New ideas, new inventions, novel creativity, literary or artistic work are some of the examples of intellectual property. Since IP is a property and has the commercial value, it can be owned through Intellectual Property Right (I.P.R.). The IPRs prevent others from using, copying, distributing, manufacturing your ideas or products that are the outcome of your intellects and are protected.

There are different types of IPRs;

  1. Patents
  2. Copyrights
  3. Trademarks
  4. Industrial Design
  5. Geographical Indications, etc.
