Intellectual property (IP) is a creation of the mind or realization of an idea that has financial value and is protected by law. Most notably, it subdivides in four main areas that are subject to legal protection. As follows:

​

• Copyright – it protects original authorship from unauthorized use. It gives the creator, or copyright owner, the exclusive right to their work.

• Trademark – an act represented by any word, phrase, symbol, design, or a combination of these things on goods or services, intended to provide a marketing attribute or product differentiation, and that have been registered with the USPTO.

• Trade Secret – information deemed of economic value to its owner and that has been subjected to reasonable efforts to keep it secret. Therefore, it is not generally known, and has value to those who cannot legitimately obtain it.

• Patents – A property right, typically of industrial application, granted by the USPTO to an inventor which excludes others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention into the United States. The patent right is for a defined term in exchange for public disclosure.

 

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the federal agency for granting U.S. patents and registering trademarks.
