The term “intellectual property” refers to creations of the mind, such as books, musical or artistic works, inventions, and symbols or designs used in commerce. The holder of intellectual property rights has certain exclusive rights related to the creative work. In order to protect those rights, certain legal steps must be taken, depending on which type of intellectual property is involved.
