WHAT IS IP Registration (Trademark, Copyright, Patent)?

IP registration is the statutory process of obtaining legal, monopoly rights over creations of the mind. Each registration protects a different form of innovation:

IP Type	Protects	Governing Act	Key Function
Trademark (™ / ®)	Brand name, logo, jingle, or design used to identify goods or services.	The Trade Marks Act, 1999	Confers exclusive rights to use the mark and prevents others from using confusingly similar marks.
Copyright (©)	Original works such as software code, website content, manuals, music, and artistic creations.	The Copyright Act, 1957	Grants exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, or license the work.
Patent	Novel inventions including processes, machines, products, or technical improvements.	The Patents Act, 1970	Provides a 20-year statutory monopoly to prevent unauthorized making, using, or selling of the invention.

Benefits of IP Registration (Trademark, Copyright, Patent)

IP registration is a strategic investment that unlocks funding, market dominance, and revenue streams.

Exclusive Market Monopoly

Patents grant a 20-year legal monopoly over your invention, eliminating direct competition and securing long-term pricing power.

Accelerated Funding & Valuation

Registered intellectual property becomes a tangible, verifiable asset that de-risks investor decisions and often leads to higher valuations during due diligence.

Brand Protection & Trust

A ® registered trademark provides strong legal grounds to act against infringement, protecting brand identity and reinforcing customer trust.

Revenue Generation through Licensing

Registered IP can be licensed to third parties, enabling high-margin, recurring revenue streams without proportional operational costs.

Customs Enforcement

Registered trademarks can be recorded with Customs authorities to block the import of counterfeit or infringing goods.
