About Intellectual Property Law:
The team Preach Law LLP has rendered services to several companies across a broad range of sectors and industries on issues pertaining to registered and unregistered IP rights including trade mark, copyright, designs, domain name registration, patent, licensing, and technology transfer matters; apart from management of IP portfolios.
IP is traditionally divided into two branches: “Industrial Property and Copyright”. The convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) concluded in Stockholm on July 14, 1967 (Art.2 (viii) provides that intellectual property shall include rights relating to:
- ● Literary, artistic and scientific works;
- ● Performances of performing artists, phonograms and broadcasts;
- ● Inventions in all fields of human behaviour;
- ● Scientific discoveries;
- ● Industrial designs;
- ● Trademarks, service marks, and commercial names and designations;
- ● Protection against unfair competition and all other rights resulting from intellectual activity in industrial scientific, literary, or artistic fields”.
Nature of Dispute:
- ● In general terms, IP infringement is any breach of intellectual property rights.
- ● IP rights are infringed when a work protected by IP laws is used, copied or otherwise exploited without having the proper permission from a person who owns those rights.
- ● Counterfeiting is the practice of imitating genuine goods, often to inferior quality, with the intent to take advantage of the superior value of the imitated product.
- ● Piracy is an unauthorized copying, use, reproduction, and/or distribution of materials protected by intellectual property rights.
