Intellectual Property

Intellectual property, which refers to intangible property such as rights and interests rather than to material objects, is a generic term that widely defines a multitude of legal entitlements attached to ideas and information of commercial value, created through one’s intellect and discovery efforts.

Examples of intellectual property are inventions, industrial processes, software applications, literary, and artistic works, such as books, musical compositions, lyrics, screenplays and visual arts. Designs, logos, images, product names, trademarks, trade names, domain names and service marks used in commerce are among many other types of intellectual property.
