What is intellectual property?

When a person creates something original, it is considered intellectual property, also known as IP. Intellectual property rights are covered in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution and are defined as the ‘exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries’. When an individual or a business wants to protect something they’ve created, they should seek out protection rights, such as copyright, patent, or trademark, in addition to their constitutional rights.

Examples of intellectual property rights infringement include work being copied, imitated, pirated, or similarly used without permission. Victims of this infringement can pursue an intellectual property lawsuit when it results in serious financial damages and other related business damages. 

If found guilty, the at-fault party can be fined, imprisoned, lose their business license, and your stolen intellectual property can be seized.

Licensing agreements look different depending on what type of intellectual property is at hand. The following are the most common types of intellectual property licenses:

• Exclusive License: The licensor may not use the intellectual property and agrees not to grant any other licenses 
• Sole License: Licensor agrees not to grant any other licenses, but may retain the right to use the intellectual property
• Non-exclusive License: Licensor agrees to give certain rights to the licensee, but may grant licenses to other third parties or use it themself. 

The intellectual property licensing attorneys at Herman Jones LLP have successfully defended the rights of inventors and are not afraid to seek legal action if a license has been violated. We have successfully litigated high-profile cases involving corporate licensing, patent and technology licensing, and software licensing.
