Intellectual property (“IP”) is the ownership of a creation and refers to any product of the human intellect that the law protects from unauthorized use by others. The 3 main types of IP are a trademark, patent, and copyright.
Trademark. This protects any name, word, slogan, symbol, design, and/or image that identifies a business or brand and distinguishes it from others.
Patent. There are 3 types of patents: Utility, design, and plant (this is not a joke – plant patents are not common, but they do exist). A utility patent protects inventions with a new or improved function. A design patent protects a new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. A plant patent protects new and distinct, asexually propagated plants.
Copyright. This protects original works of authorship like books, songs, articles, plays, photographs, sculptures, choreography, architectural works, sound recordings, motion pictures & other creative works. A work must be in a fixed, tangible form to be protected.
