What Every Business Owner Should Know About Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is a broad term that covers a wide range of business matters. In general, you can think of it as covering all the things a company produces that a customer cannot touch, such as logos, cookie recipes, software and fine art. The specific legal protections for these assets depend on what type of intellectual property is involved, namely:
- Trademarks: A trademark is a way that consumers can identify your product, like a logo or a symbol.
- Copyright: Copyright protects creative works like written works, artwork or music.
- Trade secrets: Trade secrets involve methods or means of producing an item or fulfilling a service that are unique to your business, such as recipes, unique ways of machining, specific grass fertilizer formulations and other similar items.
- Licensing of intellectual property: Licensing agreements allow another person or company to use your intellectual property, typically as a part of a paid contractual agreement.
- Computer & internet law: Information on the internet, such as websites, videos and other media are intellectual property with legal protections.
Our Amarillo trademark attorneys can help you navigate these complex issues.
