Intellectual Property
Obtaining intellectual property rights on an international scale
Intellectual property (IP) is anything that is an intangible creation and which has the potential to be used in commerce either immediately or in the future. Intellectual property can be in the form of ideas, inventions, artistic works, literary works, music, names, designs, logos and symbols, and these are categorized into; copyrights, patents, industrial designs and trademarks. By obtaining the rights over your intellectual property you are given exclusive rights to it in all countries where the property is registered. This effectively means that the intellectual property cannot be used by a third party without the permission of the IP owner and where your IP rights are infringement you have the right to seek legal action and remedies. By owning your intellectual property, whether it be a trademark, patent or copyright, you are effectively preserving your rights to using the mark and if you so wish you can sell your rights to a third party. IP rights will typically protect your wealth that can be generated as a direct result from the intellectual property being used commercially or generally in the market place. In the case of trademarks, registering your trademark will increase your brand awareness, heighten consumer loyalty and prevent competitors from passing off or infringing your trademark rights.
Effectively by registering your intellectual property you can obtain exclusive rights to your idea, artistic work or trademark etc on a global scale by filling out one application form and paying a singular fee. Also, by registering your intellectual property you can renew your intellectual property rights in a convenient and timely manner. Trademarks for example are renewed every 10 years by filing out a renewal form, which can in fact be done by a professional consultancy firm on the trademark owner’s behalf.
