Intellectual property (IP) is a broad term which covers a wide variety of inventions, designs, creations and discoveries. It can include anything from a piece of software to the design of a product to a logo.

Some types of IP can be legally protected to prevent others from being able to use them. The main types of IP are:

PatentsThese give you the right to stop others making, using or selling an invention without your permission, giving you a monopoly for the duration of the patent. They are available for any invention which:
– is new
– involves an ‘inventive step’ (ie it must be something genuinely invented rather than something obvious to a person skilled in the field of technology concerned)
– is capable of industrial application, and
– does not consist solely of certain excluded matter
