Understanding the True Value of Intellectual Property
Intellectual property may be generally described as any product of the mind that can be protected, by law, from unauthorized use by others. An invention, manuscript, design, or other work or invention that is the product of creativity can be protected by a copyright, trademark, patent, etc. to prevent others from duplicating it for personal gain. In many cases, intellectual property can be far more valuable than tangible assets. Intellectual property can present considerable opportunity for financial gain well into the future.
The following are examples of intellectual property:
- Copyrights, including songs, photos, videos, sculptures, audio recordings, and paintings.
- Patents for inventions, including machines, production methods, business methods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, software, tools, and equipment.
- Trademarks, including symbols, colors, sounds, words, or phrases that are used in connection with a service or product.
- Trade secrets, which include information a business uses that is kept secret and is therefore of value due to its secrecy.
- Right of publicity, which pertains to how one’s likeness, name, or image may be used to promote a service or product.
Its immediate and long-term worth makes intellectual property the source of highly contested disputes and litigation. With a New York City business law attorney by your side, however, you can feel confident that your interests will be presented and protected to the fullest extent of the law.
