What Is Intellectual Property Law?

Intellectual property law is the body of legal rights that protects creations of the mind:

  • Patents — Protection for inventions, processes, machines, and technological innovations.

  • Trademarks — Protection for brand names, logos, and slogans that distinguish your products/services.

  • Copyrights — Protection for original creative works like software, literature, art, and music.

  • Domain Names — Legal support for disputes over internet domain ownership and cybersquatting.

IP law helps you prevent others from copying, using, selling, or otherwise exploiting your ideas without permission — and gives you legal recourse when infringement occurs.
