Understanding Intellectual Property Law
When most people think of "property," they imagine something tangible, such as real estate, jewelry, or computers. But intellectual property confers legal rights in intangible form. The three primary types of intellectual property are copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Each of these protect very different types of work, and it is important to learn the differences between them before determining whether you might qualify for protection.
