● A patent protects new inventions and covers how things work, what they do, how they do it, what they are made of and how they are made. If a patent application is granted, it gives the owner the ability to take a legal action under civil law to try to stop others from making, using, importing or selling the invention without permission.
● This may involve suing the alleged infringer through the courts, which is costly and time consuming because it involves expert legal advice. The patent owner needs to be able to pay for this civil legal action and advice themselves, although they may get some costs back if they win their case.
Protecting a business idea
![Page 24: Generating and protecting a business idea AS Business Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c3340d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Intellectual property is something you create that’s unique.
It includes copyright, patents, designs and trademarks, and can be:
• something you invent, like a new product
• a product’s design or appearance
• a brand or logo
• written work, like content on a website or in a brochure
• artistic work, like photography or illustrations
• film recordings or musical compositions
• computer software
You can’t protect an idea - but you can often protect what you do with it.
For example, you can’t protect an idea for a book. But if you write it, you can
protect the words you’ve written.
A Patent can last for up to 20 years
Patent AKA Intellectual Property (IP)
![Page 25: Generating and protecting a business idea AS Business Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c3340d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Copyright protects original:
• literary and written work, like published novels or content on websites
• dramatic, musical and artistic works and their performances
• television, film, sound and music recordings
• computer software
• illustration and photography
You automatically get copyright protection when you create something original
– you don’t need to register.
But before making your work public, you should mark it with:
• the copyright symbol (©)
• the copyright holder’s name
• the year the work was created
This gives you more protection, as it shows others that it’s covered by copyright
and who owns it.
Copyright
![Page 26: Generating and protecting a business idea AS Business Studies.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c3340d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
When your work is protected by copyright
To be protected by copyright, your work must:
• be original (you’ll need to be able to prove that you’ve made a significant
creative contribution to it)
• physically exist (it can’t be just an idea)
Copyright in the UK lasts for the rest of the creator’s life plus 70 years.
Copyright overseas
● UK copyright is automatically valid in countries who have signed the Berne
Convention.
● How long copyright lasts in these countries varies, but it’s usually a
minimum of 50 years (25 years for photographs).
Copyright 2

● A trademark is a something that makes your brand recognisable, like a
logo or a sound.
● Registering a trademark lets you stop other people from using it without
your permission.
● To register a trademark, it must be clearly different from any trademarks
already registered for the same type of products or services.
● It gives the business the right to prevent others from using an identical or
confusingly similar mark on goods and services that are the same (or
similar) to the trademarked product
● A trademark registration lasts 10 years and is only valid in the country of
registration. You can renew it every 10 years.
