This document discusses key concepts related to intellectual property including creativity, invention, discovery, innovation, and intellectual property rights. It defines these terms and provides examples. It discusses the history of intellectual property law including early laws and conventions in the 15th century and the establishment of organizations like WIPO and treaties like TRIPS to standardize intellectual property protections internationally. It also provides context on intellectual property law in India and how laws have evolved over time to protect patents, copyrights, trademarks and more.

9. Discovery
• It is something that already existed but had

• It is already existing in nature and should not
belong to any particular individual where as
invention is man made.
• It is observation of previously unnoticed

should encourage potential and talented
inventors to keep inventing.
• Patent implies transfer of ownership whereas
licensing implies only permission to use the
licensed invention under specific conditions.
• Inventions that are not patented can be
copied, sold and distributed by anybody.

13. • Without patent inventors may miss the money
that they could have earned from their
inventions.
• When inventors do not patent their inventions
the new knowledge or technological information ,
which led to those particular inventions
sometimes does not get shared more widely.
• In some case it may limit the availability of new
technology to other scientists and inventors.

17. IPR
Intellectual property (IP) refers to
the creations of the human mind
like inventions, literary and artistic
works, and symbols, names,
images and designs used in
commerce.

18. Intellectual property is divided into
two categories
Industrial property, which includes inventions
(patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and
geographic indications of source.

property, however, is that intellectual
property is intangible, that is, it cannot be
defined or identified by its own physical
parameters. It must be expressed in some
discernible way to be protectable.

21. • In recent times,
• geographical indications,
• protection of plant varieties,
• protection for semi-conductors and integrated
circuits, and
undisclosed information have been brought
under the umbrella of intellectual property.

22. History
• In 1474 a Venetian (northern Italy] Law
was made for the first time is the cradle
