What is Intellectual Property Rights?
Intellectual property rights (IPR) refer to the legal rights that creators, inventors, and innovators have over their creations or inventions. These rights provide exclusive rights to the creators for a certain period, allowing them to benefit from their work financially and control how it's used by others.
IPR laws vary from country to country, but they generally aim to balance the interests of creators with the public interest in promoting innovation, creativity, and competition. Violating someone's intellectual property rights can result in legal consequences, such as injunctions, damages, or even criminal penalties in some cases.

Type of Intellectual Property Rights
(i) Copyright and rights related to copyright
Copyright is the legal protection granted to the creators of original works, giving them the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display their creations. In other words, copyright allows the creators, or anyone they authorize, to control how their work is used and copied.
(ii) Industrial property
Industrial property is a branch of intellectual property, distinct from copyright, that encompasses various forms of protection. These include patents for inventions, industrial designs (which cover the aesthetic aspects of industrial products), trademarks, service marks, layout designs of integrated circuits, commercial names and designations, geographical indications, and safeguards against unfair competition. In certain instances, the boundaries of intellectual creation within industrial property are not as clearly defined
