Intellectual Property
Copyright law, governed by Law No. 633 of April 22, 1941, also known as “intellectual property” or “copyright,” represents the right of the creator of a work of intellect to use and dispose of that creation as they see fit, while earning profits from the sale or licensing of that right.
The terms “intellectual property” and “copyright” are exact synonyms of “copyright.”

FAQ
To protect intellectual property, it is necessary to identify the specific intellectual property assets owned by the company and classify them into the appropriate categories of IP (patents, trademarks, copyrights, or designs).
For some types of IP, such as patents and trademarks, registration with the relevant intellectual property office or agency is required, and documentation of the IP assets should be maintained.
When sharing sensitive information with third parties, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) should be drafted with the involved party.
The protection of IP also requires constant monitoring of the market to identify any unauthorised use of the creative idea protected by a patent (or more generally falling under industrial property protection) or copyright. In case of infringement, it is necessary to promptly request the cessation of the unlawful conduct from the infringer. Regularly monitor the market to identify any violations of your intellectual property rights. Take prompt action against infringers by sending cease and desist letters. We can advise you on the best way to protect your interests in case of infringement.
