INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 Intellectual Property are those which enable
people to earn recognition or financial benefit
from what they invent or create. It is described as
“intellectual” because it is the result of the
application of the mind. It is described as
‘property’ because, just like other property, it can
be owned, sold and transferred, leased or given
away.
TYPES OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1. Patents (for the new or improved products and

services)

2. Trade Marks (for logos and brands)

3. Copyright(including software, databases, and other

copyright works such as books)
 PATENT

A patent is a right granted to the owner of an invention

that prevents others from making, using, importing or
selling the invention without his permission. Once it is
granted, the term of a patent is for 20 years from the Date
of Filing.
For an invention to be patentable, it
must, in general, satisfy three key
criteria:

 New – the invention should not be publicly

known in any way, anywhere in the world.
 Inventive step – the invention must be
something that represents an improvement over
any existing product or process that is already
available.
 Industrial application –the invention must be
useful and have some form of practical
application. It should be capable of being made
or used in some form of industry.
TRADE MARKS (for logos and
brands )

A trade mark is a sign that you can use to

distinguish your business goods or services
from those of other traders. Through a
registered trade mark, you can protect brand
(or “mark”) by restricting other people from
using its name or logo. Once acquired, a trade
mark can last indefinitely as long as you renew
it every 10 years.
TRADE MARKS INCLUDE :

 LETTERS
 WORD
 NAMES
 SIGNATURES
 LABELS

COPYRIGHT (including
software, databases, and other copyright such
as books)

Copyright protection is given to the authors of

“original works of authorship,” including
literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other
intellectual works. This protection is available
for both published and unpublished books.
NOTE:

sometimes also called INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY, although it does not have all
of the features of the items described
above . Confidential information can be
referred to as trade secrets , or know how,
and can include items such as client’s list
