Intellectual property (IP) is a legal term for creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, artistic works, and symbols. It also includes names and images used by businesses. IP rights protect the creators of IP from others who might profit from their creations without permission. IP rights can also help businesses earn back their investment in developing a product or their company’s reputation. Examples of IP include: patents, trademarks, registered designs, copyright, geographical indications, and trade secrets. To protect IP, businesses can take steps like restricting access to important information. They can also take legal action to stop unauthorized disclosure and seek damages.
