Intellectual and Industrial Property

Intellectual Property is a type of right over intangible property which belongs to the broader category of rights that protect the works of the human intellect and is more commonly known as Intellectual Property Rights.

Intellectual property, now identified with the term Copyright of the Common Law Legal System, gives a limited in time, but absolute and exclusive right to the creator of works of spirit, as defined by law, to exercise a number of powers , economic and moral nature. In order to understand why Intellectual Property is a right of a different nature from Industrial Property Rights, such as patents and trademarks, emphasis must be placed on the object of the legal protection afforded by each of these three types. rights. Initially, Copyright protects the original contribution of the creator that leads to the creation of a specific work of the spirit. The protection lies in the prohibition of most uses of the work (in particular its reproduction, distribution and adaptation). Patent then protects the innovative invention or production process. This is where innovation is protected, not originality. Also, as is clear from the obligations of description of the invention and publicity which constitute the core of the patent protection system, the purpose of licensing is not to limit the use of a particular invention but to limit its manufacture. Finally, the trademark protection system ensures and protects the special relationship between a product or a service and a specific distinctive feature. Here, protection is not so much the copying of the trademark logo as its association with a particular product or service.
