IPR
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protect the creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, trademarks, and literary works. These rights allow creators to control the use of their creations, preventing unauthorized use by others. IPR includes patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, offering legal protection and the ability to profit from innovations.
Trademark registration today involves securing exclusive rights to a brand's logo, name, or symbol, ensuring protection against unauthorized use and helping establish brand identity. It is registered with the Intellectual Property Office to gain legal recognition.
​
A trademark objection occurs when the Intellectual Property Office challenges the application, often due to similarity with existing trademarks or non-compliance with legal standards. The applicant must address the objection to proceed.
​
Trademark opposition occurs when a third party challenges the registration of a trademark after it is published for public review. The opposition is based on grounds such as similarity to an existing trademark or violation of public interest.
