Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are rights that are legally related to the discoveries and creativity of a person or group. IPR involves various forms of intellectual property that arise from human intellectual abilities in science and technology. The following are several types of IPR and their protection:
- Patent : An exclusive right to a new technical invention, which gives the patent holder the right to control the use and application of the invention.
- Brand : The right to a sign that differentiates a product or service from other competitors. A brand involves a name, logo, or symbol that identifies the origin of a product or service.
- Copyright : Rights to creative works such as music, films, books and works of art. Copyright provides protection for the reproduction, distribution and utilization of the work.
