Study Notes
Intellectual Property Law and Protection
- Intellectual property law protects inventions, creations, and artistic works from being replicated or used without permission.
- The four categories of intellectual property are patents, trademarks, copyright, and industrial design.
- A patent grants exclusive rights to an inventor for 20 years in exchange for disclosing the invention to the public.
- Trademarks distinguish goods or services from those of others and are protected for 15 years, with indefinite renewals.
- Copyright provides ownership and control over artistic works and the right to copy them.
- Industrial design involves creating artistic works through an industrial process.
- Confidentiality clauses in contracts protect sensitive information in business discussions or partnerships.
- The Patent Act protects inventors of new and useful inventions, excluding slight improvements or unlawful inventions.
- Patent applications require detailed specifications, claims statements, drawings, and a filing fee.
- International agreements allow inventors to seek patent protection in multiple countries.
- Patent holders may be required to produce or license their invention, and compulsory licenses may be issued after three years.
- Trademarks must be distinctive, not easily confused with other trade names, and must be used to be protected.
