The legal term “intellectual property,” or “IP,” refers to a variety of valuable commercial assets. Patents, copyrights, and trademarks are the three main types of intellectual property. IP is frequently misinterpreted and perplexed. For the majority of individuals and companies, everything appears to be protected by a copyright even when it can truly be a trademark or vice versa. Knowing what kind of intellectual property (IP) you are dealing with is typically the most challenging step towards protecting it. He brifed on how a trademark is just another word for a brand or brand name. Any name, term, symbol, slogan, or other design that serves to identify and set one company’s or product apart from competitors in the market is considered a trademark. Having a patent is crucial since it can protect your creation. Any design, technique, or product that satisfies particular requirements in terms of uniqueness, usability, appropriateness, and practicality is protected. An invention is typically protected by a patent for a maximum of 20 years.
