IP – Know your rights!

Do you know what Intellectual Property or IP is? What does it mean to you and me?

Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the creations of the human mind and can be in many forms, like a piece of creative work, an expression of an idea or a solution to a problem.

In fact, IP is all around us. Take a closer look at your portable CD player. Its unique shape may be protected by a Registered Design; its CD-playing mechanism may be protected by Patents; the name of the CD player may be registered as a Trade Mark; and of course the instruction manual that comes with the CD-player is protected by Copyright. Even the songs and the performances by our favourite artistes are protected too!

“What’s the big deal?” you may ask. Do you know that you too can be a copyright owner of your own creations? Never thought of that? Yes, IP is all around us in more ways than we can imagine!

How do you enjoy copyright protection over your creations? To find out more and share with us some of your favourite online activities, come join us in this exciting journey. Explore the different forms of IP and battle it out in a test of wits in our mini contests to win some Habbo Credits!
