Intellectual property (IP) refers to the creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to the owners designated by law. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are rights granted to creators of intellectual property, and include trademarks, copyrights, patents, industrial design rights and, in some jurisdictions, trade secrets. Artistic works, including music and literature, as well as discoveries, inventions, words, phrases, symbols and designs, can be protected as intellectual property.
While intellectual property law has evolved over centuries, it was not until the 19th century that the term intellectual property began to be used, and not until the late twentieth century it became a commonplace in most of the world .
Intellectual property rights include patents, copyrights, industrial design rights, trademarks, planting rights, clothing, geographical indications and in some trade secrets of jurisdictions. There are also more specialized varieties or derived from exclusive sui generis rights, such as circuit design rights (known as mask work rights in the United States) and complementary protection certificates for pharmaceutical products (after the expiration of a patent that protects them ) law).
1. Patents
A patent is a form of right granted by the government to an inventor, giving the owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell and importing an invention for a limited period of time, in exchange for public disclosure of the invention. An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem, which can be a product or a process and, in general, has to meet three main requirements: it has to be new, not obvious and there must be an industrial applicability.
2. Copyright
A copyright grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Copyright can be applied to a wide range of creative, intellectual or artistic forms, or "works". Copyright does not cover the ideas and information itself, only the form or form in which they are expressed.
3. Industrial Design Rights
An industrial design right (sometimes called a "design right" or design patent) protects the visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian. An industrial design consists of the creation of a shape, configuration or composition of pattern or color, or combination of pattern and color in three-dimensional form containing aesthetic value. An industrial design can be a two- or three-dimensional pattern used to produce a product, an industrial product or a craft.
4. Plant Varieties
Breeder's rights or plant variety rights are the rights to commercially use a new variety of a plant. The variety must be, among others, novel and different and for the registration examines the evaluation of propagation material of the variety.
5. Trademarks
A trademark is a recognizable sign, design or expression that distinguishes products or services of a particular merchant from the similar products or services of other merchants.
6. Commercial Image
Clothing is a legal term of art that generally refers to the characteristics of the visual and aesthetic appearance of a product or its packaging (or even the design of a building) which means the source of the product for consumers.
7. Business secrets
A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern or collection of information that is not generally known or reasonably verifiable, whereby a company can obtain an economic advantage over its competitors and customers. There is no official protection of the government; each company must take steps to protect its own trade secrets (for example, Formula for Coca-Cola.)
