What Are the Different Types of Intellectual Property Infringement?
Many countries recognize a person’s right to exclusively use, make, or sell certain types of intellectual property, such as software products, brand name logos, designs, or recipes. These rights are commonly given in the form of patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secret protection. Intellectual property infringement occurs when a person or entity violates another person’s exclusive rights to intellectual property. The most common types of intellectual property infringement are patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret infringement.
