Intellectual property (IP) has 2 types: copyright and industrial property.
Copyright grants the creator exclusive rights and immediate protection without registration. But not everything can be protected by copyright. Copyright law covers creative works such as literature, drama, fine arts, musical works, audiovisual materials, movies, sound recordings, and broadcasting, as well as other works of literature, science, or art.
Industrial property refers to creativity connected to diverse industrial products. It has 3 categories: invention patent, petty patent, and product design patent. These serve as proof of ownership to the inventor for preventing violations.
What do you need to register a patent for research or an invention?
According to the legislation, 3 conditions must be met:
• The creation must be novel (not a work that previously exists).
• Innovative step, which is readily apparent to people with basic experience in the field. (This criterion is not applied with a petty patent, which most inventions are granted.)
• Industrial applicability
A patent requires technical qualities and processes that produce new and superior outcomes, according to IP laws for registration.
