TRADEMARK EXAMPLES

Nike trademarks are trademarks owned by the

leading shoe manufacturer. Companies like Nike
use trademarks to protect their brand. With a
trademark in place, a company can prevent
unauthorized use of their intellectual property.
Items that can be trademarked include
catchphrases, names, figures, lyrics, and symbols.
A standard trademark registration will last for 10
years, and when it is set to expire, you will need to
re-register your trademark to secure another 10 years of protection. If you don't regularly use
your trademark, you may lose your rights to your mark.
 Louis Vuitton alleges trademark
counterfeiting, trademark infringement,
false designation of origin, and trademark
dilution. Louis Vuitton asserts that the
defendants are willfully and intentionally
infringing on several of their marks within
Class 25, by selling products made of
inferior materials and having poor
construction, at prices well below those of
authentic Louis Vuitton products. In the
complaint, Louis Vuitton also claims to
have invested “millions of dollars and decades of time and effort” so that consumers
will recognize Louis Vuitton marks throughout the world and associate the marks with
high quality, luxury goods

PATENT EXAMPLES

A design patent is a form of legal protection of the unique visual

qualities of a manufactured item. A design patent may be granted if
the product has a distinct configuration, distinct surface
ornamentation or both. In other words, a design patent provides
protection for the ornamental design of something that has a practical
utility. A design patent is valid for 14 years (if filed before May
13, 2015) after being awarded and is not renewable; if it was
filed on or after May 13, 2015, the design patent has a 15-year
term from the date of grant.
 A utility patent is a patent that covers the creation of a
new or improved—and useful—product, process, or
machine. A utility patent, also known as a "patent for
invention," prohibits other individuals or companies
from making, using, or selling the invention without
authorization. When most people refer to a patent,
they are most likely referring to a utility patent. Utility
patents cover the creation of a new or improved—and
useful—product, process, or machine and give its
inventor exclusive commercial rights to it for 20 years.

Copyright Examples

 If you write a screenplay,

novel, or even a blog post,
you've just created something
new. Once you put that
creation out into the world and
allow the public to access it,
copyright law kicks in to help
make sure that someone else can't steal a part of (or all of) your creation .If someone
does do something to violate your copyright, like copy your blog post and attribute it
to himself, or try to claim authorship of your screenplay, copyright law makes it
possible for you to enforce your rights against the other and maintain your
ownership. Here's an example of a
standard copyright notice in place in the
footer of Sephora's website

Copyright is a form of intellectual property that

serves to protect original work - this can take
many forms, which we will explore below. The creator of the work is usually the copyright
owner and that individual(or company) is given exclusive rights over their work. While
intellectual property laws are country-specific, the importance of protecting original creations is
widely recognized worldwide .Copyright generally gives the creator and owner the exclusive
right to reproduce, distribute, display, and make adaptations to their work. This right does expire
after a few years, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, after which the work becomes part
of the public domain.
