About Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property rights, or IPRs, refer to inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols, all creations of the mind. This protection is an excellent catalyst for innovation and growth in the economy.

The principal IPR forms include patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. A patent is the exclusive rights of the invention of an inventor. Trademarks protect distinctive signs which identify the goods or services and may even distinguish the same from similar goods or services. Copyrights are for original literary, artistic, and musical works. Trade secrets protect confidential information that gives a business a competitive advantage. IPR protection is essential for companies, individuals, and society as a whole.  

IPRs encourage innovation through the benefits they give to the creators from their intellectual labour. It prevents the creation of other’s work without permission, hence promoting fair competition. It further provides a framework for economic growth by increasing innovation and stimulating investments in research and development. There are mechanisms available to protect IPR, such as government registration agencies, legal means of enforcement through lawsuits, and other kinds of public awareness campaigns. International treaties add further vigour to IPR protection through borders. The safeguarding of intellectual property promotes creativity, encourages economic development, and guards that innovators receive proper recognition and reward for their contributions.
