Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is the group of legal rights regarding people creations or inventions.  These rights include patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret rights. 

• Trademark- word, name, symbol, or device used to indicate the source of goods and to distinguish them from others.  Trademark right can be used to prevent others from using a similar mark.
• Copyright- a trademark that has been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which no one else can use.
• Patent- legal grant issued by a government permitting an inventor to exclude others from making, using, or selling a claimed invention during the patent’s term.
