What is intellectual property?

Intellectual Property consists of products of the human mind and creativity that are protected by law. IP is often the single most important asset of an enterprise. This is why you need to know about it. Like tangible property, IP can be bought, sold, rented. It does have economic value, often great economic value.

Intellectual property is fast becoming extremely valuable, even for small business. Intellectual Property is one of the most talked about topics in business today, yet one of the least understood.

Intellectual property rights allow creators to benefit from their work

IP rights are like any other property right. They allow creators, or owners, of patents, trademarks or copyrighted works to benefit from their own work or investment in a creation.

The IP system helps strike a balance between the interests of innovators and the public interest, providing an environment in which creativity and invention can flourish, for the benefit of all.

In Australia, Intellectual Property is divided into 5 categories: Patents, Trade marks, Copyright, Plantbreeders Rights, Registered Designs.
