 Reputation Innovation Creativity

What is IP?

When you come up with an innovation, especially in relation to some business purpose, and you take some steps toward bringing it to existence beyond what's in your brain, you may be able to own some aspects of it in the same way that you might own your home (real property) or your computer (personal property). That is intellectual property (IP).
  • a machine or system you devise
  • a product you make or design
  • a process you come up with
  • a poem, article, book, play, music, or choreography you write
  • an image you draw, paint, photograph, or film
  • software code, interfaces, or functionality you create
  • a name, persona, symbol, or appearance you adopt or use

Examples of IP are:

  • a machine or system you devise
  • a product you make or design
  • a process you come up with
  • a poem, article, book, play, music, or choreography you write
  • an image you draw, paint, photograph, or film
  • software code, interfaces, or functionality you create
  • a name, persona, symbol, or appearance you adopt or use

How does IP apply to your industry?

Intellectual properly covers a wide range of things in every industry including:

consumer products

industrial products

professional services

technology

Why does IP matter?

Intellectual property is about encouraging, protecting, and monetizing creativity in all its forms. It can give you an advantage over competitors and turn creativity into an asset with value that can be transferred, licensed, or even passed on after death.

How can IP law help you?

IP is not always about the obvious. There are many ways it can affect you and your business, including:

  • What you can own
  • Where, how and when you protect it
  • What you can stop others from doing
  • What you permit others to do with it
  • What risks you take
  • Whether you might unknowingly violate someone else’s rights
  • What its value is as an asset
