Irish Intellectual Property Laws

Ireland has a world class legislative framework for intellectual property and is a member of most international IP conventions and treaties. Ireland's commercially progressive IP laws govern the four principal IP rights: copyright, trade marks, patents and designs.

The Copyright and Related Rights Acts 2000 to 2007, originally enacted in 2001, are technology neutral to ensure flexibility in dealing with emerging technologies. That said, in order to ensure Ireland stays at the forefront of copyright, Ireland's copyright laws are currently undergoing a root and branch review to ensure they are up-to-date and balanced in respect of modern technology and innovation.
