Intellectual Property

What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property is the legal definition for ideas, inventions, artistic works and other commercially viable products created out of one’s own mental process. Intellectual property is protected by legal agreements such as patents, copyrights and trademark registrations. Intellectual property is considered similar to physical property under the law in that it can be legally sold, exchanged, traded or abandoned.

Not all ideas are considered intellectual property under the law. Commercial viability is a factor that must be present in order to establish intellectual property and establish proper protections for such property. Inventors and those in creative fields should protect their commercially viable ideas through the official registration of their ideas and trade secrets.
