Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents and industrial design rights (please refer to download link for further information).

The practice in this regard includes:

• Searches for marks and advice on availability of marks
