Intellectual property (IP) laws govern the protection of your creative work such as designs, logo’s, symbols, names, literary, artistic work and images. Specifically, IP covers four areas:
- Copyright
- Trademark
- Design Rights
- Patents
IP laws protect intangible assets such as creative ideas in the same way personal property and assets are protected by the law. Our lawyers make sure that legal rights of your created works, designs and ideas are protected and upheld so that you are able to reap financial benefits and recognition from your hard work.
