Talk to an IP LawyerEmail an IP LawyerFree IP DownloadIt is helpful to remember that Intellectual property (IP) is not physical property, like land or equipment. It is, for example, the right to monopolise:
- a name (trade mark)
- an invention (patent)
- a design (registered design)
- copying or modifying (copyright)
Some common issues arise for each type of intellectual property. These include:
- Ownership
- Protection (which may include registration)
- Enforcement
- Commercialisation
