Patents, Trademarks & Copyright

Under intellectual property (IP) law, owners of “creations of the mind” – such as inventions, artistic works, symbols, names, and images –are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets. These include music, artistic works, discoveries, symbols, words, and designs.
