Intellectual property rights are the legal entitlements that let a creator or owner control how their invention, brand, creative work or confidential information is used by others. These rights vary significantly by type: patents and trademarks require registration and have defined terms, while trade secrets require no registration but only last as long as secrecy is maintained.
