Intellectual Property

Introduction

Intellectual property refers to the types of property to which no physical goods are assigned directly. Basically, the distinction between legal systems and industrial property rights protection (patents, trade marks). The intellectual property rights are intended to enable the owner/occupied, the effort that was used for the production of the protected object to derive economic benefit and protect the subject from corruption. Historically, these rights belong to the state privileges.

Discussion

Intellectual property has to do with the creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images and designs used in commerce. Intellectual property is divided into two categories: industrial property, including inventions, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and geographical indications of origin, and copyrights (Bettig, 1996, pp 29 - 32). These includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, works of art such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright are the rights of performers on their performances, the rights of producers of phonograms in their recordings and the rights of broadcasting organizations in their radio and television (Maskus, 2002, pp 471).

Intellectual Property Rights

With respect to the rights that comprise the intellectual property rights are distinguished moral and patrimonial rights:

Moral Rights: 

Against Anglo-Saxon systems, the Spanish legislation is clearly an advocate of moral rights, recognized for authors and for performers. These rights are inalienable, inalienable, accompanying the author or performer all his life and his heirs or beneficiaries upon the death of those (Perelman, 2004, pp 120 - 128). These include the right to recognition of the authorship of the work or the artist's name recognition for their performances, and to demand respect for the integrity of the work or performance and to not disturb them (Lindberg, 2008, pp 102 - 110).

Rights of economic character: 

Exclusive rights are those that allow the holder to authorize or prohibit the acts of exploitation of his work or other subject-matter by the user, and to demand compensation in return this authorization to grant.

Remuneration rights, unlike exclusive rights do not entitle the holder to authorize or prohibit acts of exploitation of their work or other user, even if they force this to pay a monetary amount for the acts of operation to perform, this amount is determined, either by law or otherwise by the general charge of the management entities (Bettig, 1996, pp 29 - 32).

Intellectual Property Rights Protection

Applicable law in England guarantees the protection of intellectual property on two main fields. The first is the copyright (copyright), which applies to all forms of creative work (starting with the written word, through music, film, etc.) (Perelman, 2004, pp 120 - 128). This protection applies to both personal rights and property. Its range in England is in conformity with the protection of property rights last for 70 years from the date of death of the author's personal copyright never expires (Lindberg, 2008, pp 102 - 110).

The second, from the perspective of most companies much more fundamental field, is patent rights and the rights associated ...
