IP (Intellectual Property) law

Intellectual Property (IP) law protects creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, and designs. It grants creators exclusive rights to use, sell, or distribute their work, encouraging innovation and creativity. Key types of IP include patents (for inventions), copyrights (for original works), trademarks (for brand names and logos), and trade secrets (confidential business information). By safeguarding these rights, IP law helps individuals and businesses profit from their ideas while fostering a competitive economy.
