An Intellectual property right is knowledge or technology that is unique in some fashion such that the know-how it is based upon can be protected by law. An Intellectual property right may include patents, trademarks and copyright. Patents are usually based on a design, a process or a system of production. Trademarks are unique visual elements, such as a logo or product name, that help differentiate a business, product or service. Copyright generally relates to written materials such as a book or an article. In the U.S. any of these may be protected by law through filing applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
