Intellectual Property Law
- » Intellectual property (IP) is the unique product of human intellect that has at least some marketplace value. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), intellectual property is divided into two categories:
- • Industrial Property: including inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and
- • Copyright (Library/Artistic Property): including literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, text and images on a World Wide Web (WWW) site, architectural designs, scientific publications, and artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, as well as performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and broadcasters in their radio and television programs.
- • Trademark
- » A trademark can be a logo, name, symbol, or device used to differentiate a product or service of one trader (or commercial entity) from that of another-brand identity. Example: the McDonald’s golden arches.
- • Copyright
- » A Copyright is protection granted to authors of original authorship such as literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, and computer software, as well as performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and broadcasters in their radio and television programs. Example: The creators of your favorite music CD, movie, or computer game have a copyright on their work.
