Propriété intellectuelle

Propriété intellectuelle (intellectual property) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, trademarks, and designs. It grants creators exclusive rights to use, reproduce, or sell their creations for a certain period, encouraging innovation and creativity. This protection prevents others from copying or exploiting these ideas without permission, fostering a fair environment for inventors, artists, and businesses. Think of it as ownership rights over your original ideas, ensuring you can benefit from and control how they are used, while also supporting ongoing innovation and cultural development.
