Intellectual property is a set of legal rights that protect creations of the human mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names and images used in commerce. It is mainly divided into two categories:
Industrial Property: Includes patents, trademarks, industrial designs and appellations of origin. It protects inventions and distinctive signs that identify products or services in the market.
Copyright: Protects literary and artistic works, such as books, music, paintings, sculptures, films and software programs.
These rights allow creators and owners to control and benefit from their own creations, encouraging innovation and creativity by giving them recognition and economic rewards.
Registering your trademark offers legal protection, preventing others from using it without authorization. It also facilitates legal defense in disputes and strengthens your market position. The registration is the property title of your trademark. Building your brand without having the title is like building your house on land without deeds.
A patent protects inventions, while a trademark safeguards names, logos, and distinctive symbols associated with products or services.
