Patent:
A patent for an invention is granted to the inventor, giving the inventor the right for a limited period to stop others from making, using or selling the invention without the permission of the inventor. When a patent is granted, the invention becomes the property of the inventor, which – like any other form of property or business asset – can be bought, sold, rented or hired. Patents are territorial rights.
Trademark:
A Trademark constitute any sign that individualizes the goods of a given enterprise and capable of distinguishing such goods from the goods of competitors.
Industrial Design:
A registered design is a monopoly right for the appearance of the whole or a part of a product resulting from the features of, in particular, the: lines, contours, colours, shape, texture materials of the product or its ornamentation.
Copyright:
Copyright is the means by which a person or a business makes a living from creativity. Copyright springs from a simple notion: the people that create, produce or invest in creative work should be the ones that decide how that work should be reproduced and made available to the public.
Utility Model:
There is no universally accepted definition of utility models. However, each country or regional grouping defines utility models by providing a category of inventions protectable as utility models. In the case of ARIPO with a membership of states whose laws are not in harmony, a broader definition has been adopted according to Section 3ter of the Harare Protocol
