                 Intellectual Property Rights

                 The rights granted to an individual over their own invention are known as intellectual property rights. For a set amount
                 of time, they usually grant the inventor exclusive rights to utilize his or her creation. There are only three options for
                 safeguarding intellectual property which are as follows:
                  ÐPatent                                              ÐTrademark
                 Ð                                                   Ð

                 Patent

                 A patent is a term that refers to a unique product created by a single person. For a certain time, the designer is granted
                 exclusive rights to the patent. The patent right allows the owner to prevent others from creating, using, or selling the
                 product design. If someone uses the patent without authorization, the owner can take legal action. The following
                 conditions must be completed in order to receive a patent:

                 Ð ÐThe item should be brand new.

                 Ð ÐIt should be able to be manufactured or used in some industry.
                 Ð ÐIt should not be a scientific or mathematical breakthrough. It shouldn’t be a dramatic, musical, or creative piece.
                 Trademark
                 A trademark is a name, a different symbol, or a gadget that identifies a product or service. A specific person or company
                 produces or provides the product or service. A trademark can also be referred to as a brand name. It should be officially
                 registered and legally limited to the usage of a single individual or business.
