Intellectual Property Overview
Most Businesses Possess at Least Some Intellectual Property
Many companies routinely overlook what may be the most valuable part of
their business, their intellectual property assets. Companies routinely strive
to make most efficient use of the tangible aspects of a business such as equipment,
bank accounts and merchandise. But they often pay little attention to intangible
assets, such as names, logos, and proprietary ideas. If not properly managed
and protected, these valuable assets may easily be lost.
The most common types of intellectual property which can be protected include:
- Technology and Ideas
- Names and Logos
- Creative Works
Technology and ideas are protected by obtaining a patent or taking advantage of trade secret laws.
Names and logos are protected as trademarks. Creative works of authorship, such as artistic and
literary works are protected under copyright law. Some products, such as computer software, may a
ctually be protected under patent, trademark and copyright laws.
