What is Intellectual Property Law?

Intellectual property law is a field of law that protects economically valuable intellectual creations. Intellectual property law generally focuses on industrial property rights and copyrights. Intellectual property rights cover different types of protection for ideas, products, and works produced by human creativity and intelligence. Intellectual property rights are generally divided into two categories: industrial property rights and copyrights. Industrial property rights are further divided into subcategories such as designs, utility models, patents, and trademarks. Industrial property rights are generally established through registration.

What is the Importance of Intellectual Property Law?

Intellectual property law protects intellectual creations with economic value. There are two main elements: copyrights and industrial property rights. Copyrights arise automatically with the creation of a work. Protection is automatically provided upon the presentation of the relevant work to the public. There is no need for a procedure such as registration or notification. In the case of industrial property rights, it is necessary to have the relevant invention, trademark, or design registered to establish protection.

With the development of communication and technology, the importance of intellectual property rights has also increased. Intellectual property rights and innovative work have significant impacts on the economic growth of companies. In this context, companies are encouraged to develop effective policies related to intellectual property rights.

What are Trademark Cases?

A trademark is any type of symbol, including names, words, letters, shapes, numbers, packaging, and forms of goods, that are described by drawings and can be published through printing, which serves to separate a company’s goods and services from those of another company. Trademark rights are an absolute type of right that provides protection against the unauthorized use of a trademark. Absolute rights are rights that can be violated by everyone and therefore, the owner of the right can request compliance with the right. In particular, trademark rights are absolute rights claimed over intangible goods. It is left to the discretion of the individual who registers a symbol available for everyone’s use by choosing such a symbol and registering it. It provides an absolute right that can be claimed against everyone and must be respected by everyone. In the case of trademarks, the right holders can resort to legal and criminal measures against wrongful applications and different uses. These situations are managed through trademark cases.

What are Patent and Utility Model Applications?

Patents are granted for innovations in every sector of technology that are new, contain an invention and can be applied in industry, as long as certain conditions are met. The inventors who invest significant effort and money, both in the stage of invention and in applying the invention to industry, would like to benefit exclusively from the economic income of the relevant invention. A patent or utility model registration certificate grants its owner a monopoly right over competitors, giving them a financial advantage. The inventor has absolute rights over their invention, and disputes related to these rights are known as patent and utility model lawsuits.
