Other intellectual property types
What we have discussed in this book are the main areas of intellectual property. Copyright, designs, patents and trade marks are not the only kinds of IP, however. There are also:
- Plant breeders’ rights
- Heraldry rights (uniforms, flags and so on)
- Confidential information — including know-how and know-why
- Domain names
- Advertising properties
- Counterfeit goods — actually, these do not concern different types of intellectual property, but have several peculiar aspects involving IP which require additional attention.
An intellectual property lawyer will be able to advise you on these aspects as well.
