Defined as creations of the mind, Intellectual Properties are protected by law and this allows the creator to enjoy the fruits of their labours. Creating an awareness around Intellectual Properties is knowledge that gives an artist, an inventor or an entrepreneur a distinct advantage. The insight we will share with you is that knowledge is power. This knowledge shields you from being taken advantage of, keeps your hard earned money in your pocket and you will be able to capitalize on the benefit that proper registration of your Intellectual Property affords. We cannot stress enough the importance of these points. You can protect your song, your photograph, your manuscripts, your logo, your brand, your database, your invention, your trade secret, your designs and keep the financial benefits you are entitled to. Please take the time to research and protect your Intellectual Property because not protecting your IP is just like giving your money away when you can use it to increase your financial well being. Check out the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), CIPO's YouTube playlist, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Intellectual Property Organization in your own territory. In the coming weeks we take a quick look into a few of the Intellectual Properties that affect individuals especially in the music industry. Enjoy!
