What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual property (IP) refers to an intangible asset created by the mind, such as an artistic work or invention. It is protected in law through the granting of exclusive rights over the work to the creator. There are a number of different forms of rights protection, including copyright, patents and trademarks, which once established enable people to not only protect their intellectual property but to also earn recognition or financial benefit from the work they have created.
In today’s knowledge-based economy intellectual property rights are of more value than ever before, particularly in the world of media and technology. It is important therefore that you seek expert advice in order to properly establish and protect your intellectual property.
