Intellectual property can be defined as a wide definite account for the group of intangibles that is possessed and protected legally by an institution from outside use or effectuation without consent. Intellectual property comprises of patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, etc.
The idea of intellectual property pertains to the reality that a few products of human intellect must be given the same rights of protection that enforce to physical property. Many of the developed countries have legal standards set in place to guard such kids of property.Corporations are steadfast in classifying and guarding intellectual property due to the huge worth they hold in knowledge-based economy. Bringing about the worth from the intellectual property and thwarting others from getting worth from the intellectual property is a crucial duty of any company.

Business law presentation on Patents, trademarks, geographical indications As a part of Intellectual property right With relevant provision of WTO also this Presentation covers case study on Apple vs Samsung case, Viagra Patent issue,Basamati rice, Darjeeling tea etc.
These are the slides of a presentation to solicitors, barristers and others at 4-5 Gray;s Inn Square on 26 June 2013. It defines intellectual property ("IP") as the legal protection of intellectual assets ("IA") which are the brands, designs, technology or creative works that give a business a competitive advantage over its rivals. The study discusses how the law protects each of those assets: brands by designs, passing off, geographical indications and registered designs, for example,. and technology by patents, the law of confidence, unregistered design right, plant breeders rights and copyright. However, IP rights create monopolies and restraints of trade that are as harmful as any other. The law that creates these rights also regulates their subsistence and exercise. Thus, IP law strikes a balance between two conflicting interests: that of incentivizing creativity and innovation against promoting competition and freedom of trade. The tension between those two public interests has always existed and its appreciation is fundamental to understanding IP law. One instance where it appeared was in the Uruguay Round of negotiations of trade liberalization between 1986 and 1994 which led to the WTO agreement and TRIPS. Since 1994 IP protection has been one of the conditions of access to the markets of the leading industrial countries. TRIPS refers to four core treaties - Paris, Berne, Rome and Washington. These are the general protection treaties. Others, such as the PCT, Madrid and Hague, facilitate multiple patent, trade mark and registered design applications. There are classification agreements like Nice and Locarno and regional agreements like the European Patent Convention. The presentation considered the harmonization of European copyright, registered design and trade mark law and the Community trade mark and Community design regulations. It identified the core British statutes: the Patents Act 1977, Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the Trade Marks Act 1994 and the Registered Designs Act 1949. It discussed also some of the more important secondary legislation such as the Patents, Trade Marks and Registered Designs Rules. Finally, it identified some of the sources of law in print and on the internet listing the materials that can be downloaded from the IPO, EPO, OHIM, WIPO and other sites.
Discusses the available scope of patent protection for advances in diagnostics as well as the types of claims available in different jurisdictions. Additionally covers "support", i.e. the enabling teaching that is the trade-off for the patent monopoly, in the context of diagnostic patent applications. Finally, considers the enforcement and exploitation of patents directed to diagnostics.
