Protecting your creativity and contracting as a Business

Intellectual property 
-includes business idea, design, brand, design values.

Contract Laws 
-patents

-Confidential information 

INTERNATIONAL LAW- RIGHT, VALUE IN INVESTMENT, PATTERN PROTECTION,

Intellectual property (has a time period) 
Trade marks (last forever) 

Law won't protect a idea, only when its put down on paper.


COPYRIGHT 
-notebooks, sketchbooks with dates, witness by someone else. these process show evolution of idea and gives proof.

Inspired by is allowed, copyright isn't allowed.

If you create a product for a employer they would own the copyright not you.

-limits include time and countrys used.
