The World Intellectual Property Organisation defines intellectual property (“IP”) as “creations of the mind”.
These include a variety of products and concepts, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; symbols; and names and images used in commerce.
Modern technology has allowed businesses to accelerate the development and commercialisation of their innovations. However, with this has been followed by acts of unfair competition by competitors on an unparalleled scale.
Thus, innovators, artists, and inventors must be provided with legal protection in order to ensure that their valuable intellectual property is safeguarded in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Intellectual property rights (“IPR”) aim to provide such protection, striking a balance between the interest of innovators and the wider public interest.
At sammut.legal, we are dedicated to supplying creative solutions to original thinkers, and provide expert knowledge on trademarks, copyright, patents, and the various other aspects relating to IPR.
