An intellectual property (IP) lawyer helps clients register trademarks, patents, and copyrights. They discuss that trademarks protect logos and brands, patents protect inventions, and copyrights give sole rights to creators for their work. The document introduces an IP lawyer, Shwetasree Majumder, whose work involves a wide range of clients and creations, from life-saving inventions to fashion, and monitoring online sites for new developments. Copyright protects artists and companies by preventing others from profiting off their protected works without permission.

2.  You could work with Trademarks.
Anything that is a brand is a trademark.
For instance Look at the ‘TM’ next to One
Step Up’s logo. Since it got registered, no
one can use our logo. Guess who helped
us with the registration process? An IP
lawyer!

3.  As an area of work IP is closely
connected to products and businesses.
Patents are what you may work on. A
patent can be put on anything that is
inventive. This is where science subjects
come handy. Imagine getting a patent
for a scientist who has invented a car
that can fly! Essentially you are
protecting his invention so no other
person copies his idea and sells it.

4.  We met Shwetasree Majumder - a
lawyer who deals in Intellectual Property.
She tells us that IP helps her stay on top
of different subjects and fields. Work
could include anything from a life saving
invention to the creations of a fashion
house.

5.  Shwetasreee’s work also involves visiting
sites like Vimeo and Pinterest to stay
connected with what is happening,
world over.

6.  Copyright is another area of IP. It gives
an artist/ creator the sole rights to their
creation. On our website all of the videos
belong to One Step Up. If we get them
copyrighted, no one can lift our videos
and make any amount of money
through them. In case that happens
(copyright infringement), we’ll just have
to sue the guilty!

7.  Our music industry too has seen cases of
copyright infringement. Why don’t you
try guessing the names of music
director’s who lift music from foreign
artists?
