Intellectual property law protects the rights relating to original creations of the mind, including artistic and written works, inventions, and images, words and designs used in commerce. This arena of law includes copyrighting, patents, trade secrets and trademarks. The following segments give meticulous information about the different types of intellectual property.
Patents

Like copyrights, patents are governed by central statutes. Inventors who are granted patents have exclusive rights to make, use or sell their invention.
Trademarks

Trademarks are governed by both central and state law and are words, phrases, logos or pictures associated with a commercial enterprise. They give businesses a way to distinguish their products and services from those of competitors. Brand awareness is the main motto of trademarks.

Copyrighting
Copyrighting is governed by central statutes and protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, films, paintings and software.
If you are involved with any issues pertaining to obtaining or licensing patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property, it is in your best interest to consult with a qualified intellectual property lawyer.
