Intellectual Property Management
We help you to protect you identity, your Intellectual property!
What is your Identity?
Intellectual property is the creation of the mind that is original product of human intelligence that requires protection in order to keep it safe from unauthorized use. To understand the value of this property we must first understand what comprises intellectual property. Primarily, there are four main categories of Intellectual property:
- Copyright (Art, Literary works and Music)
- Trademarks (Names (Company, Service and Products) and Logos)
- Patents (for Inventions and Processes)
- Trade secrets (for Codes and Processes)
What are Intellectual property rights?
Like any other property that your own and use for your benefit, Intellectual property rights are the same. These rights allow creator, or owner of the trademarks, patient or copyrighted material to take benefits from their creation or invention. For the first time, Intellectual property was recognized in 1883 during Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and later in 1886 the Berne Convention for the protection of Literary and Artistic Work to provide safe guard to the original owners and creators of the work while allowing them to take undivided benefits from there creation. Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides right to benefit frommoral and material interest that will result from scientific, literary or artistic productions of the original owner.
Why it is important to safeguard your Intellectual Property?
In this era of technological advancement, it has become a lot easier for anyone to steal your ideas, literary work or identity. People are making millions by selling products in the grey market which is causing huge damage to the original owners. On other hand people from around the world are in the process of creating or inventing something new that could be useful in the areas of art, technology or culture. Protection of intellectual property encourages the commitment to innovate, enhance economic growth and enhance the living standards.
