Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) means acquiring of property rights through Patents, Copyrights
and Trademarks. These property rights gives the creator a monopoly on the use of the item
for a specified period. It includes works related to poetry, inventions, artistic work, symbols,
names and images used in business. These rights make sure that the hard work of the people is
protected from unauthorised use and piracy.
Measures to Protect Intellectual Property Rights
We can take the following measures to protect Intellectual Property Rights:
Don’t share your business ideas with others.
Have detailed drawings, descriptions, plans and records that can prove it is your creation.
As soon as you have a business name and logo for your idea, you should register those
Trademarks right away.
Types of Intellectual Property Rights
There are three main types of Intellectual Property Rights:
Copyright: It is the legal right given exclusively to the person for a fixed number of years
allowing them to publish, record, or use their literary, artistic, or musical work. Copyright of
work lasts for 70 years or even after the death of the creator.
Patent: It is the right that gives an inventor the complete right to make, use, and sell their
invention for a specific time period. Usually, the validity period for a Patent is 20 years.
Trademark: It is a symbol or word legally registered or established and used as representing
a company or a product. Trademarks help to protect brand names, logo, and design of the
product. The validity period for a Trademark is 10 years and can be renewed after that.
