Commercialize Your Intellectual Properties!

The world is increasingly moving towards an economy based on intangible properties. Now, the principal capital of a lot of major industries is not tangible property like land, machineries etc., rather it is their intellectual properties. Bangladesh is no exception to that global change. From 2010 onwards, the parliament of Bangladesh has enacted a number of legislations on intellectual properties that provide for both registration and means for commercialization thereof. This article shall focus on the ways how the businesses, both large and SMEs, can commercialize their intellectual properties and protect them while doing so. In doing so, the article shall highlight four main kinds of intellectual properties: trademark, copyright, design, and patent.
