According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, intellectual property is
defined as creations of the mind - inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols,
names, images, and designs used in commerce. "Protecting intellectual property is
essential to success," says Edward Bracken, Co-Founder of AngelNetwork.com

AngelNetwork examines the ways of protecting intellectual property by identifying
the four legally defined categories which include: patents, trademarks, copyrights
and trade secrets. Patents protect invention ideas for twenty years. Trademarks are
defined as a name, phrase, symbol, or sound used in connection with a product or
service. Trademarks remain in effect for ten years after being registered however a
business does not have to officially register a trademark. AngelNetwork also points
out that a business may use the TM symbol to protect their trademark. A copyright
protects written material and artistic expressions. A copyright lasts for the
lifetime of the author plus an additional fifty years. Trade secrets are defined as
devices, formulas, patterns or compilation of data that grants the user an advantage
over their competitors. The trade secret must prove to add value to the company.
