Intellectual
Property Law is that area of law that relates
to legal rights connected with creative
effort, commercial reputation or goodwill.
This includes literary and artistic works,
films, computer programmes, inventions,
designs and trade marks.
The law prevents others
from simply copying or taking unfair advantage
of the industriousness of the author or
creator and provides remedies if this
occurs.
The various rights which
make up Intellectual Property are as follows:-

of Confidence
Copyright
Trade
libel
Patents

Registered
