- Introduction to Intellectual
Property
Intellectual property is a dynamic area of law that continues to
be at the forefront of innovation, and continues to develop.
Intellectual property is the legal right to ideas, inventions, and
creations in the artistic, literary, industrial, and scientific
fields. It also covers symbols, names, images, designs, and models
used in business.
Intellectual property is distinguishable from physical
property in that physical property is tangible whereas intellectual
property does not have a physical presence and therefore cannot be
touched or grasped.
The three most common types of intellectual property are: (1)
copyrights; (2) trademarks; and (3) patents. This blog focuses on
the law surrounding copyrights.
