Intellectual Property
Intellectual property protection is a complex yet important part of the law and exists to protect your work and ideas and make sure that only you can get the benefit from and commercially exploit them. Intellectual property is like any other type of property, such as a piece of land. As such it can be owned and transferred, and your rights to do so are protected under the law. However, unlike a piece of land it is not necessarily something that can be seen or touched. Given their lack of visibility and the complex web of related IP rights that exist, it is important that you seek professional advice in order to understand how best to protect your intellectual property.

Know your rights
Intellectual Property rights cover a vast range of different areas of the law.
Patents and copyrights
These rights cover the majority of Intellectual Property rights. Patents protect your rights to new inventions. Copyrights protect work more of an artistic nature including literary, musical, dramatic and, of course, artistic works.
Trademarks
This is another well known area of intellectual property law. Trade marks protect property, images, sounds and colours which are identifiable with a business, its products and services. Doing this helps build the business’s brand and customer base.

E-commerce – just like any other business ?
The Internet for quite some time now has been the new frontier of business with unlimited opportunities and unlimited earning potential. However, virtual businesses, just like any “physical” business, are still subject to the law. To avoid hefty penalties and damaged reputations, it is necessary to make sure you adhere to the appropriate laws. The most important bit of legislation for E-commerce in the UK is the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002.
