Intellectual and industrial property law is a branch of law that protects all material and moral rights of a person who is the creator of an artwork. The use, reproduction, distribution, or many other issues such as patent rights and licenses without the permission of the author are regulated in this field. Since an artwork carries an economic value and represents the effort of its author, it is protected in the legal field.

Intellectual property rights can be thought of as a person’s unique creation, protecting their own work, ideas, or inventions. That is, there is a creative process for ideas such as music, literature, and scientific discoveries that a person creates. Protection starts after this stage, and legal rights arise. This right provides the author with the ability to prevent unauthorized use or to seek legal recourse if it is used without permission. The concept of property here refers to the ownership of rights over the ideas created by a person. Therefore, the subject of intellectual property rights is works that carry economic value. The elements of intellectual property law are copyright and industrial property rights.

Copyright arises automatically when a work is created. Protection begins automatically when a person presents their work to the public. Notification or registration is not required.

For the protection of industrial property rights, the invention, design, or trademark must be registered. Industrial property protects innovations, designs, and original products by ensuring that they are registered in the name of the owner and allowing them to be distinguished from other products in commercial life, and providing exclusive use rights to the owner. Industrial property rights provide the person with the right to produce and sell the product for a certain period of time. Depending on the structure and nature of a product, a different industrial property right is given.
