Like anything, Intellectual Property (IP) law can seem daunting on the first approach. But the savvy startup owner, inventor, or creative entrepreneur will learn quickly that IP law is a friend rather than a foe. This is true for mobile app developers and technology companies, just as it is true for engineers.
There are three major protections available for mobile app developers: patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Patents grant their owners with the exclusive right, for up to twenty years, over the invention claimed in an issued patent. An aspect that distinguishes patents from other forms of IP protection is that a set of patent claims must enable a consumer of ordinary skill to reverse-engineer and utilize the invention. There are three types of patents: utility, design, and plant. Utility patents are both the most common patent as well as the most difficult to obtain. They pertain generally to the functionality of your invention. A trademark can protect a word, name, logo, symbol, device, or any combination thereof. Companies, enterprises, and entrepreneurs use trademarks in branding as a way to let consumers identify their goods or services. Trademarks allow prospective customers to consider the reputation of a seller of goods or a provider of services. A copyright protects artistic works such as literature, music, films, software, etc. Copyright protection provides the owner of the work with exclusive right to reproduce and distribute copies, prepare derivative works, as well as perform or display the work publicly
