Intellectual property (IP) provides tangible value to your invention, whether a gene, a chemical, or a protein, an industrial process, or a piece of software. Gaining legal recognition of IP in the form of patents, copyrights, and trade marks enables your IP to be licensed, sold, or bought. Although professional patent lawyers submit most patent applications, it is important that you understand the basics of the process and keep up-to-date with the latest issues and developments in patent regulation.
