Copyright provides creators like artists and writers with legal ownership of the work they produce. This means they have some control over the work they create and allows them to make a living from their efforts. In this way, copyright provides an incentive to encourage the production of new works and helps protect and sustain creativity, which benefits the broader community.
Intellectual property (IP) is the property of your mind or proprietary knowledge and can be an invention, a trade mark, a design or the practical application of your idea.
It is important that you understand how to protect IP as it is a valuable business asset and it will usually be easier and cheaper taking enforcement action following a breach of your rights if they have been protected “up front”. In this article we provide an overview of the different types of IP and look at the basics for protecting your IP rights. |
