Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is a type of idea, innovation, method, or product design that an individual or enterprise has developed. Typically, intellectual property gives its owners a competitive advantage in their industry, so they have a vested interest in keeping it private and protected.

There are four main types of legal protections for intellectual property:

• Copyrights: This gives authors, musicians, and other creators exclusive rights to their material, including usage, copying, or duplication. Other parties who want to use copyrighted material must have a licensing agreement or must use it under the terms of “fair use.”
• Patents: This type of property right is usually granted by a government agency. A patent allows the patent holder exclusive rights to their invention, such as a piece of equipment or a software application.
• Trademarks: This kind of intellectual property is typically a slogan or symbol that is exclusively assigned to a specific company, such as a brand name or logo.
• Trade secrets: This is internal company information that offers economic benefit. A trade secret may be information held by a company that has not yet been patented or copyrighted. Trade secrets may be guarded by requiring employees or partners to sign non-disclosure agreements.
