What Is Intellectual Property? Patents, Trade Marks, Designs & Copyright Explained
What is intellectual property (IP) and why does it matter to your business?
In this video, a UK patent attorney breaks down the four main types of IP protection: patents (protecting how things work), registered designs (protecting how things look), trade marks (protecting your brand), and copyright (protecting creative works like software and literature).
You'll learn:
• The key differences between patents, designs, trade marks and copyright
• Why IP rights are territorial, and what that means for UK businesses
• How to buy, sell, licence or mortgage IP like any other asset
• The UK Patent Box tax relief that can reduce corporation tax on patented products
Whether you're a business owner, engineer, or first-time inventor, this is the essential starting point for understanding how to protect your innovations.
