What is Intellectual Property?
Think IP doesn’t impact you? Think again! I surrounds you every day and could affect your work and your livelihood.
Types of Intellectual Property include Copyright, Trademarks, Registered Designs, Trade Secrets, Patents, Moral Rights and Community Designs. WIPO continues…
‘IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.’
It’s so easy to think that Intellectual Property doesn’t impact you. But when you realise just how far and wide it reaches, you might want to think again.
It impacts ideas and inspiration, using other people’s work, copying and infringment, commissions, selling and income, reputation, branding and licensing and freelancing, logos, brands, business relationships and reputation.
Not so irrelevant after all!
