Artistic, intellectual and literary works require copyright registration to protect them from infringement. Unauthorized duplication or copying of the original work is considered copyright infringement in legal terms. A long list of creative, intellectual and artistic works come under the copyright category. And some of them are books, software, plays, lectures, architectural drawings, paintings, works of photography, maps, and derivative works. Copyright registration is carried out by the Ministry of Economy in the UAE.
A trademark is often associated with the name of a brand, product or service. A trademark is intended to protect the brands from unauthorized duplication that leads to the circulation of counterfeit products. A trademark helps to recognize a particular commodity or its source. It also helps differentiate an original product from a counterfeit product. A wide range of trademarks are used for the purpose of Intellectual Property (IP) Protection and the most common ones are words, logos, pictures, hallmarks, and names. Trademark registration is carried out by the Ministry of Economy in the UAE.
A patent registration is applicable to inventions and has scientific relevance. If an original idea leads to a novel invention or an existing invention is upgraded in an innovative manner irrespective of the field, the individual or entity responsible for the same is granted a Patent. The invention or upgrade is granted patent only if it has a scientific foundation and industrial application. The authority in charge of trademark registration in the UAE is the International Centre for Patent registration (ICPR) that comes under the Ministry of Economy.
Trade secrets come under Intellectual property (IP) and they are mostly employed by businesses whose unique selling preposition remains undisclosed. A Trade secret is usually a distinct formula, process or a recipe that a business establishment employs in the production of their brand. The trade secret serves as the unique formula and is shared only among the most trusted few. The UAE laws allow trade secret protection for devices, recipes, processes, design works and many more. There is no formal trade secret registration procedure as in the case of other IPs.
A Trade secret is generally defined by the internal rules and practices of the company. Kiltons Trade secret services will provide the necessary legal inputs and guidance in the process of defining the Trade secret and its terms and conditions.
