What Is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property generally refers to legal rights associated with creations, inventions, brands, artistic works, and certain forms of confidential information.

Trademarks

Trademarks can protect distinctive names, logos, symbols, and other identifiers associated with goods or services. Registration systems and protection standards vary between jurisdictions.

Copyright

Copyright law generally protects qualifying original creative works such as writing, photographs, music, software, and artwork. The precise scope of protection depends on applicable law.

Patents

Patents can provide legal protection for qualifying inventions. Patent applications commonly involve technical and legal requirements and may have strict deadlines.

Trade Secrets

Confidential business information may receive legal protection as a trade secret when applicable requirements are satisfied. Businesses should consider appropriate confidentiality measures.

Why Businesses Should Care

Intellectual property can represent a significant part of a company's value. Businesses should identify important intellectual-property assets and understand how they can be protected.
