intellectual property litigation
Intellectual property litigation involves legal disputes over the ownership, use, or infringement of creations like inventions, trademarks, copyrights, or patents. When one party believes another has copied, violated, or wrongly used their intellectual property rights, they may file a lawsuit to protect their rights. The court then examines the evidence to determine who holds the valid rights and whether infringement has occurred. This process helps ensure that creators and companies can control and benefit from their innovations and brand identities, fostering fairness and innovation within the marketplace.
