Intellectual Property
Regarded as a property belonging to a certain owner like any other property, intellectual property, however, focuses more on a product of human intellect in both tangible and intangible forms. Whether it be inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, or even mere images, these creations can be considered the intellectual property of those who have invented and created them and cannot be used, adapted, or adopted by others without consent or permission from such owners.
The primary purposes of intellectual property laws can be, therefore, boiled down to two aims including 1) to preserve and protect such ownership rights and 2) to encourage more valuable creations upon a guarantee that any creation one produces shall not be used, benefited, or profited from by others.
How Can Intellectual Property Lawyers Help Individuals and Businesses?
Lawyers specializing in intellectual property laws can assist, advise, and represent individuals and businesses in any legal matters relating to intellectual property ranging from non-contentious cases to contentious cases.
