Intellectual property law

In principle, intellectual property rights give their owner the exclusive right to exploit their creation commercially. A creation in this context means, for example, a new idea, a new invention, a new design or similar. Intellectual property rights are divided into the following categories, according to how they were created:

• Patent rights
• Utility model rights
• Trademark rights
• Design rights
• Copyrights

Intellectual property rights are also often referred to using the acronyms “IP rights” or “IPR”.
