Intellectual property rights (IPR) protect creations of the mind, including inventions, artistic works, and brand identifiers. Patents protect novel inventions and technological innovations, while trademarks safeguard brand names, logos, and symbols. Copyrights cover original literary, artistic, and musical works, while trade secrets protect valuable proprietary information. Effective management of intellectual property portfolios involves strategies for registration, licensing, enforcement, and defense against infringement. Additionally, businesses must navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes to protect their intellectual property rights and maximize their value in the marketplace.
