How to Obtain Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property rights protect people’s creative work and prevent unauthorized use of those works. They apply to literary, artistic, and scientific works as well as computer programs, inventions, and designs. Obtaining intellectual property rights gives the author moral and financial protections. A detailed guide to how those rights are obtained:

General Overview of Intellectual Property Rights

For a work of art or an intellectual product to be protected, it has to meet certain conditions. For intellectual property rights to apply, the work has to be the outcome of intellectual effort and meet the conditions set in the law. The creator of a work is the person who produced it, and a work can have several creators.

The rights granted to the author fall into two categories, moral and financial:

Moral rights:

• Right of presentation: the right to present the work to the public and to publish it.

Financial rights:

• Adaptation right: the right to modify the work and reorganize it.
• Reproduction right: the right to make copies and reproduce the work.
• Distribution right: the right to present the work to the public and distribute it.
• Performance right: the right to present or show the work in public settings.
• Communication to the public right: the right to broadcast and transmit the work through tools such as radio, television, or the internet.
