FAQs
What is intellectual property?
Intellectual property, or IP, is all around us. Inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images and designs used by businesses across the globe, these are all examples. And protecting that intellectual property is an important part of any business’s success. Because when you own your intellectual property, you gain complete control over what you choose to do with it. So you can use, reproduce, distribute or even sell your creation in whichever way you like. And you can also prevent others from doing so without your permission.
What are the different types of intellectual property?
There are several different types of intellectual property. These include patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, industrial designs and plant varieties. Each does something slightly different. For example, a patent provides protection for inventions, whereas a trademark protects distinctive words, phrases, symbols or designs. But ‘what’ they do isn’t so important as ‘how’ they’re used. Every business is unique. What will work in one instance, won’t in another. So it’s important you take the time to find a team of intellectual property experts, just like us, that are capable of understanding the nuances of what you need. Because that’s how you’ll get the best protection for your intangible assets – which is what you want.
