Intellectual Property Disputes

Intellectual property protection can help protect your intellectual property rights and prevent others from stealing or copying your ideas, inventions and designs. You can obtain copyright and design right protection automatically, but must apply for registration of trademarks and patents. Intellectual property rights can be one the following four:

• Copyright, which is protection for your writing/photographs/web content/music;
• Design right, which is for the shape of objects;
• Trademarks, for logos and names;
• Patents, for inventions and products.
