Abstract (300 words maximum)
Intellectual property can be protected through federal and state laws. Patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws can all apply depending on the type of protection required. Due to its intangibility, though, intellectual property can require more than essential paperwork to defend. Great care must be taken to ensure documents properly follow the necessary procedures, and continuous vigilance is required to enact that legal protection. Here the methods of filing for patents and how to protect them will be highlighted.
