    Introduction to Intellectual Property Rights

    • Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are legal entitlements attached to creations of the mind.
    • They grant the creator exclusive rights over their creations for a certain period of time.
    • IPR laws vary across jurisdictions, requiring separate registration or enforcement efforts in each territory.
    • Examples of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, designs, and patents.

    Evolution of IP Acts and Treaties

    • The Paris Convention (1883) was the first international agreement protecting intellectual property. It focused on inventions, trademarks, and industrial designs.
    • The Berne Convention (1886) aimed to provide creators with international control over their works and payment for their use.
    • International IP laws serve to define monopolistic rights, limitations on monopolies, and remedies for violations.

    Importance of Intellectual Property Rights

    • IPRs are essential for encouraging innovation and creativity.
    • They help curb illegal copying and sharing of intellectual property.
    • The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) promotes IP-driven innovation.

    Issues Affecting IP Internationally
