Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is the right to own a certain entity for the work of creative thought, i.e. literary and artistic works, symbols, names, pictures, designs and industrial drawings, which are composed, produced or otherwise transferred to its ownership later.
Intellectual property is divided into two categories: industrial property, which includes inventions “Patents”, trademarks, industrial designs and distinctive signs of origin (geographical indications and origin names) on one hand, and the copyright that includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems, plays, films, music, drawings, paintings. On the other hand, copyright include performers rights relating to their performance, the rights of producers of phonograms associated with their recordings and the rights of broadcasting organizations related to radio &TV programs.

Industrial property includes the protection of patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications. It also include the protection of utility models, packaging forms, designs or topographies of integrated circuits, where such protection exists, and protection against unfair competition, which may include the protection of undisclosed information or trade secrets. Intellectual property is indeed a type of property or wealth with a value equal to (or superior to) the value of tangible property or real estate, even if it is not as intangible as knowledge. The value of intellectual property wealth has increased because of the importance of technology and creative works in the modern economy. Intellectual property is new ideas, original expressions, distinctive names and manifestations that make products unique and valuable. Intellectual property itself is either trafficked or “licensed” without trading the value of the original product or service through patents or other intellectual property licenses from one right holder to another.
