intellectual property

Intellectual property is something of commercial value that the human mind conceives. It might be an invention, a literary work, a musical score, an architectural design, a drawing or painting, an innovative process or design, a performance, or a symbol that identifies the work and products of an individual or business entity.

Just as the law protects our right to keep and use our physical or tangible property, it also provides the means to protect one’s right to the fruits of the creative mind—one’s intangible or intellectual property. Intellectual property rights are similar to other property rights, allowing innovators the right to reap the benefits of their intellectual labors and the investment of their time and their efforts in the creative process, by means of:

  • Patents for inventions and innovative industrial processes;

  • Trademarks for symbols such as logos and slogans;

  • Copyrights for literary, musical, and artistic creations, performances, films, and broadcasts;

  • Trade secret protection for information or processes that your company has developed to obtain an edge over competitors.

Protecting the Products of the Creative Mind

The human mind is unique in its endless capacity for creation and innovation; the ability to create and innovate drives the evolution of human society to higher levels of achievement and the social, cultural, and economic developments derived from it that benefit us all. To encourage and reward the creation and innovation in technology, arts, and culture that contribute so much to the quality of life for so many, we have created laws to protect intellectual property for a period of time, to allow its owners to be rewarded for the time and mental effort they have expended to create something that enhances life for many members of society.
