CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Intellectual property law is the legal term which governs the ownership of ideas as well as
inventions. Such ownership is related with tangible and intangible concepts. There are several
ways are mentioned for the purpose of protect ownership of ideas, goods and services which are
invented by person. These are usually related with patents, trademark as well as copyrights. It
consists different rules, regulation and policies which are related with intangible assets of person.
No other person can use inventions without legal or written approval of real owner (Bently and
Sherman, 2014). If can they do so then real owner having right to file case against them in order
to receive amount of compensation equal to damages caused to them or amount specified by law
whichever is higher. Members of entire country are bound to comply with such act and try to

Invention has been stands for creation of new things which are never introduced before and
first time introduce for the use of people. Such things consist various terms such as new goods
and services, packing of products, technologies which support organization to earn money and

other people. While organization new things for example name of the company, logo, packing of
goods and services, strategies to deliver products from one state to another, training session for

various types of terms and conditions mentioned under written document of which are framed by
parties. As they are bound to fulfil the same and have to comply with law as well which are
imposed on them (What is IP Law?, 2017).
According to the rule of law intellectual property rights can be bought and sold. These
activities consist under intellectual property law and define different rules and regulation which
1

are imposed on parties who are responsible to frame legal contract with each other in order to
fulfil their target or achieve set of goals and objectives. Furthermore, document trail exists for
the purpose of establish ownership (Patrick, 2013). This is the effective approach which maintain
performance of parties and able to build up their trust as well. Rights can also be acquired at the
stage on which works are created.
Intellectual Property Law Amendment Act 2015, define different rules and policies a
related to with new inventions, trade mark and much more (Australia's Intellectual Property
Laws Amendment Act 2015 passes Senate. 2012). This law is able to protect interest and rights to
people and maintain their performance as well. It is able to secure their inventions which are
created by them, their personal skills, knowledge and experience. As per rules of this law
intellectual property refers to the creation of intellect. Through which monopoly has been

trade mark, design and database rights. It can protect ownership of personal property. Through
this person having exclusive control over intangible assets. The main aim of this law is to
provide incentives to inventors for the purpose of develop creative works which is beneficial for
the entire country (McCombs, Philbin and Simpson, 2013). Law must be ensuring that several
provisions are able to protect rights without misappropriation by others. Legal authorities frame
different other laws in order to secure existing rules and policies.
Literary, musical, artistic work, film or dramatic are created by worker during the course
employment with help of their own skills and knowledge concept is called as copyrights.
Through this employer becomes the first owner of copyright on the basis of contrary agreement.
Protection of theories and ideas are not able to capture in fixed medium (Torremans, 2016). But
2

they are implement or use in particular thing it can be registered and protection is also providing
to it.
Patent is the concept which provides opportunities to inventors to use products and
services at marketplace. Also they are able to earn profit by transferring such rights to another

Thus, creator of design has become the first owner of intellectual property. Rights related
to this concept are called as design rights which is able to automatically protected design. It can
be bought or sold by owners (Forman and MacNaughton, 2015). Unregistered design rights can
be used by other person without any approval of owner and not responsible to pay amount5 of
compensation in case party file case against him.
Trademark rights are able to protect symbols, slogans, name and other things which are
used by companies in order to identify goods. The main aim of this act is to reduce confusion

distinguish one product from another. If one firm use such symbol or mark and these are
registered by legal authorities, then no other firm can use such symbol without taking approval or
real owner. As they are bound to obtain prior approval from entity. But organizations are not able
to protect marks for additional protection (Shadlen and Guennif, 2011).
There are different acts specified for each purpose for the purpose of secure and safe rights
of people. Registration play significant role in such rights. It is the legal procedure which
consists different steps to get rights or things registered and obtain legal right property. After that
no other person can use such property without written consent or real owner. As they are bound
to follow rules, regulation and policies which are imposed on them and mentioned under law as

under this topic which are based different provisions of law.
2.2 Concept of intellectual property
As per the views of Dratler, (2017) it has been stated that, according to The Intellectual
Property Laws Amendments Act 2015, intellectual property is the concept which refers to the
creation of human mind. In which monopoly has been assigned to real owner who innovate
things. Inventions, literary, artistic work, names, logos used by firms and much more. These
things are consisting under intellectual property. As per the rule of law there are two types of
assets hold by owners as movable and immovable assets. Thus, such property has been
considered as immovable property which cannot be touched physically. Law related to property
is typically provide rights to person who create things and explore benefits of creation. It has
been used by most of firm in order to enhance work performance and quality of work of
employees. There are large number people use their collective efforts for the purpose of invent
new things and maintain performance of entire firm. After registration of such property rights,
real owner receives monopoly rights in order to protect their rights and interest. But these are
limited by time duration, geographical extent as well as scope. Protection of such law is
responsible to encourage creativity which is beneficial for United Kingdom. This will allow
creators to conduct research on particular topic in order to gather information.
8

Branstetter, Fisman, Foley and Saggi, (2011), have views that intellectual property law is able
to protect rights and interest of individual, firms as well as other entities to restrict other person
to use their inventions. In case they do so then they having rights to file case against them in
order to receive amount compensation equal to damages caused to them or mentioned under law
whichever is high. No other person or entities can able to exploit rights or interest of real owner.
Various types of benefits provided to them which is beneficial for the entire state. Furthermore,
rights related to personal property are having substantial impact on firms or industry. With the
help of enforcement of such rights owners can effectively use their goods and services, prevent
manufacture from every type of fraud and so on. As per the views of Helfer and Austin, (2011),
it is depicted that person having full control over intangible assets. They can easily have bought
or sold such property with the help of legal procedure. It shall encourage publication, production,
distribution, controlling process of the firm. Every company having its own strategies to comply
with laws and fulfil target as well. So that, members of such firms are not able to discuss internal
policies and procedure with other entities. Because they are responsible to maintain confidential
information for the purpose of enhance work quality and improve different departments as well.
As they have to select creative work to perform well in international market and attract large
number of people as well. Members have to select title of the firm which is not previous
registered by any other firm. Otherwise, such entity is able to take action against in order to
receive amount of compensation which is mentioned under law. Members are bound to fulfil
rules, regulation and policies which are imposed on them and mentioned under law. As they are
not able to breach rules which are imposed on them. They are bound to use range of several
rights covering under different types of creations. This concept coved under literary as well as
artistic.
Moore, (2017), found that intellectual property rights have been provided safeguarding to
rights and interest of owner who hold property. As they are responsible to registered them in
order to receive rights over property. They are bound to fulfil rules, regulation and policies
which are imposed on them and mentioned under law. Creative work is valuable for every firm
for the purpose of earn profit and maintain performance in international market. Innovation is the
process which is able to create new thing which are never introduce before. It is simply
considered as creation of human mind. Also innovations are easily resolve problem which arise
among organization due to complex activities and functions. When these things are getting
9

registered then legal authorities restrict other firms to use logo, symbol, name etc. of another
firm.
Snyder and Deaux, (2012), have asserted that infringement stands for unauthorized use of
intellectual property on which another person or firm obtain legal right. In order receive
protection against infringement; real owners are responsible to take legal steps for the purpose of
secure their exiting rights. This concept provides additional legal rights to them. As per the rule
of law it is clear that no other person can use name or symbol of other because these are
registered by legal authorities. Exclusive rights are given with various numbers of limitation as
well as exceptions. The aim of such law is to protect interest or rights or parties. In case
infringement occurred then case should be resolve by federal court. Before the case real owner
wants to consult with attorney as well as try to consider litigation with best interest. Cases related
to infringement are expensive to prosecute. There are various number of remedies are available
for the owners through which they can file case against person and maintain performance as
well. As per views of Candelin-Palmqvist, Sandberg and Mylly, (2012) it has been stated that
once the rights of real owner of property are established in court. In that case infringer needs to
be agreeing to license agreement. This process is able to allow them to use intellectual property
for the purpose of continue with the payment. Such rights are considered as incredibly lucrative
which provide opportunities to making huge money. Through this firms are able to earn profit
and able to attract large number of customers.
2.3 Rights provided to parties who hold personal property
As per the statement of Coleman, (2013) it is found that every inventor receives rights on
their inventions or creations are called as intellectual property rights. These rights include patent,
copyrights, trademark, design rights, trade dress and database rights. Kapczynski, (2011)
examined that Patents are the form of rights which are provided by legal authorities or
government of UK to the person who invent new and different things. It shall only provide rights
to one person and exclude others from making, selling, purchasing, offering to sell, using and so
on for limited time period. Through which they can secure interest of parties. Such invention is
able to resolve complexities related to technology. It can provide specific solution for every
technological problem. Such invention can be presented in the form of product or process. But
inventor must ensure that creation should be new, not so obvious and able to use by
organizations. in order to earn profit owners can transfer such rights to someone else. It is totally
10

depending of inventions. These rights valid up to 20 years. so that, rights should be enjoyed by
real owner within stipulated time period. But after such time period they can renew their rights in
order to continue use rights as mentioned under law. It provides technological improvement in
every firm.
Merges, (2011) affirmed that copyrights have been considered as exclusive rights which
are provide to owner for the original work. These rights are also provided for stipulated time
period. After such period real owners are responsible to renew their licence. These types of rights
are needs to be apply to the wise range of intellectual, creative and works. Copyrights are not
able to cover ideas, thinking, information and data of person. It only includes the form in which
they are present. Writings, motion picture, music as well as other intellectual expression are
consists under this concept. Theories and ideas not able to protect in copyright. After getting
registration inventors are responsible to use copyright symbol and mention date but which is nor
mandatory. Large number of copyrights is available or valid till the inventor’s lifetime in
additional 70 years.
On the basis of ideas of Geiger, (2013) it is found that trademark has been considered as
rights which are able to protect symbol, slogan, names and so on. These things are useful to
identify products and services. The main purpose of such rights is to avoid confusion which is
created identifying goods and services. It can be distinguishing one goods from another. Such
symbols are able to create brand image among mind of people. After that people can identify
goods and services with the help of logo or symbol. So that, these names, symbol, logos are
getting registered by legal authorities. After that no other firms can use them without approval of
real owner. Trademark rights are provided for last forever. In which owners can use rights till the
end of firm. After obtaining rights companies are able to use mark and build trust among people.
It is not required to register such mark additionally. Every company having rights to fix their
logo in order to distinguish its products and services which are produced by other firms as well.
For the same purpose various legal obligations imposed on real owner and they are responsible
to fulfil the same in effective manner.
Yu, (2012) argue that industrial design rights are able to protect visual design of the goods
and services which are registered by the firms or person. It consists configuration, shape of
product which is saleable in market, effective combination of pattern and colour, packing shape
of goods and services and so on. These types of designs are used to firm for the purpose of sale
11

their goods and services in international market and distinguish packing from other companies.
In case design of products has been used by firm then no entities can use the same in order to
sale goods and services in international market. Furthermore, in case another firm do so then
registered is able file case and receive amount of compensation equal to damages caused to them.
There are different rights and duties are mentioned under law which are able to protect interest of
people. Firm which registered their design are needs to be renewing their licence after stipulated
time period. As they are bound to fulfil rules and regulation which are imposed on them and
mentioned regulation. Firms or individuals who are involved in such activities are responsible to
comply with policies and procedure which are imposed on them as per the rule of law.
Duffy and Hynes, (2016) stress that trade dress is the legal term of art which refers to the
packaging of goods and services. The main objectives of related are to protect interest of real
owners through which they effectively contribute in growth and development of economy
Candelin-Palmqvist, Sandberg and Mylly, (2012). When one person wants to use right of another
firm they are responsible to come in legal agreement with each other and try to form written
document which is signed by both parties. Various terms and conditions mentioned under written
document and needs to be signed by them as well.
2.4 Provisions of intellectual property law
Bradner and Contreras, (2017) stress that Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988, is act of
parliament of United Kingdom which receive royal assent on 15 November 1988. It creates
unregistered design right as well as include some other modifications (A general introduction to
copyright. 2017). Legal authorities make necessary changes in law as per the requirement of
circumstances. Various types of rules, regulation and policies are mentioned under law. As they
are bound to fulfil policies which are imposed on them. Different types of provisions are framed
by legal authorities in order to protect rights and interest of real owner. The act related with the
rights of copyright along with amendments in order to make fresh provision for the security of
rights of inventors. Through which they can prevent fraudulent act of parties who conduct
wrongful act which are not enforceable by law. According to the rule of law members are
responsible to comply with laws and maintain performance in international market. Parties are
responsible to perform enforceable by law. Brown, (2011) agree with the statement as related
with copyright has been considered as personal property a right which subsists in accordance
with original literary, musical and artistic works. Person who registered such rights is becomes
12

the real owner of such property. After no other person can use rights. Section 77 of this act
define right to be identified as director. Author is the person who writes books on the basis his
experiences and thoughts. That books written by them are already registered with their names.
No other person can use them with legal or written approval of real owner. Such rights become
personal property of real owner. As they are responsible to take care of rights and try to comply
with rules, regulation and policies which are imposed on them. Roy and Sivakumar, (2011)
shows that Section 80 and 85 are also considered under this act which define rights of privacy
related to films as well as photographs. It covers right descriptions of work as well as related
laws or provision. They are try to fulfil rules, policies and procedure which are mentioned under
law. Person who conduct wrongful act is considered as criminal under law. Court imposed
penalties on them equal to damages caused by them and penalty mentioned under law.
According to words of Pager, (2012) it has been depicted that globalisation as well as
advance technologies. It caused boom in industries as related with film, publishing and various
businesses. Due to various reasons it is necessary to introduce such laws. This law is protecting
rights and interest of parties who secure their rights. The growth and development of digital era
made it not only simple to create intellectual property rights but also this law is able to infringe
it. The primary aim of this act is to increased protection against piracy for the authors of new
media. Legal authorities add some other amendments for the purpose of protect interest and
rights real owners of property. As they are responsible to comply with rules and regulation which
are imposed on them and secure their interest as well Snyder and Deaux, (2012). Also this law is
able to protect existing laws which are framed by legal authorities. It is the creation of rental
rights for the purpose of sound recordings. Also it can reduce criminal act. These are significant
to the quasi copyright on performers who are struggled to protect their rights or work. Through
which they can permanently secure their interest. Such law having impact on the growth and
development of industries which is able to provide several types of job and growth opportunities.
But after registration these rights are able to secure rights for stipulated time period. So that, after
such time they are bound to renew and deposit fee as well. Suttmeier and Yao, (2011) found that
parties who covered in this act are responsible to maintain their performance in effective manner
for the purpose of comply with rules, regulation and policies. Through which they can maintain
performance in international market and secure their interest as well. With the help of such laws,
entire population can use their skills, knowledge and experience in effective manner. As they are
13

responsible to comply with rules which are imposed on them. No other person can use name,
symbol, right of other person. As person who conduct such act has been considered as criminal.
It can protect crime from entire country and provide free and secure environment to people.
2.5 Importance of registration of patent, trademark, design and copyrights
On the basis of views of Belleflamme and Peitz, (2014) it is affirmed that Registration is
the legal term which can able to secure rights and interest of parties. It is the legal document
which shows legal right on particular thing or property. As parties are bound to obtain
registration on intellectual property for the purpose of safeguarding their immovable property.
Initially they have to pay registration amount equal to the amount specified under law. Amount is
non-refundable. As are bound to comply with legal rules and regulation which are imposed on
them. Inventions are needs to be registered before use or implement. This is the systematic
procedure which consists different policies and procedure. As real owner is bound to follow such
policies in order to achieve target and goals. Firstly, they have to file written application in order
to receive legal approval. Application should be clear and accurate. Also it must be file along
with non-refundable fees as equal to mention under law. In case legal authority neither reject not
accept then after stipulated time period it is considered as rejected application. In case it should
be accepted by them receive consent for registration. It is providing in the form of written
document which is signed by legal representative and real owner. After obtaining such document
owner is able to sue others and be sued by others. Without registration other firms are easily use
name, symbol, design and much more. Every particular company select name which is not
previously registered by any other firm. Also private firms need to add word Private limited at
the end of name. Karaganis, (2011) shows views on the other side, public organization needs to
add only public limited at the end of name. But voluntary organization not able to use any word
at the end of name. It just set names which are not previously registered. As members of such
firms are responsible follow rules, regulation and policies which are imposed on them and
mentioned under law. They are bound to follow such policies. Through which companies are
able to maintain performance in international market and enhance brand name.
Chon, (2011) define Intellectual property rights are the vast term and include several
skills and knowledge on particular things and property. Copyright has been considered as termed
as the exclusive as well as assignable legal right, provide to the real composer for a lifetime of
14

real owner plus sixty years from the initial stage of the calendar year next following the year in
which the author dies. Legal rights involve right to print, publish, perform, film, or record
literary work involving software, artistic work, or musical work. This is the significant rule
which is mentioned under law.
Baase and Sen, (2013) stated that after registration real owners of the immovable
property can distribute their copies to whom they want. They receive some amount against such
copies. Person who wants to use such inventions, have to pay stipulated amount which is
mentioned under law. Registration is required to display the work publicity. With the help of this
rule real owners are able to registered their rights and interest for the purpose of safe guarding
their personal property. They are bound to follow rules, regulation and policies which are
imposed on them. Trademark, as it is popularly stated that, it is a distinctive sign which is able to
identify certain products and services as those provided by a specific person or firms. It helps
people to identify as well as consume goods because of their nature as well as quality, as it is
able to indicate by its unique kind of trademark Moore, (2017). With the help of this real owners
can freely use their rights and interest which are provided to them. Through such act firms are
able to attract large number of customer just to earn better money and secure their rights. For the
same purpose members of companies are responsible to frame several plans and strategies in
order to fulfil their target and attain better profit. Plans and strategies are needs to be implement
in firm in effective manner and try comply with laws as well. After such implementation
organization can surly earn huge profit and maintain their performance in international market.
As per the words of Horspool and Humphreys, (2012) it has been depicted that after
registration the written document becomes prima facie evidence for them which can be shown at
every legal proceeding. For the same purpose of real owners are bound to fulfil rules and
regulation which are imposed on them and consists under law. Trademark right shall be
considered as symbol, name, logo, packing and so on which is used by companies while conduct
transaction. On such things firms receive registration. Furthermore, such rights are transfer to
other in order to expand business in international market. Organization which holds such rights
can share with other firms for the purpose of increase profit margin and expand business as well.
Through which businesses can able to attract large number of customers and maintain
performance as well. There are various types of policies, procedure and regulation mentioned
under law. Such rights have been creating a public record of the ownership. It provides
15

significant motivation for the purpose of creation of different intellectual property rights. It is
rewarded as several types of rights. Registration as well as entitlement to copyright will display
the validity of copyright if it is registered within a period of approx. five years of publication.
This can assist avert future challenges to works related several kinds of rights. These laws are
able to considered as moral rights to be identified as the creator as well as author of definite
types of material called as the paternity right, and raise objection to the distortion and mutilation
of the right. Different types of benefits are provided to real owners for the purpose of safe
guarding their rights and interest. There are several types legal regulation is applying on
inventors. Also these laws are able to resolve related problems which arise at time of registration
of document. Silbey, (2014) found that Legal authorities are responsible to provide best possible
solution for each and every problem which arise during invention and its registration. As they are
bound to fulfil different types of regulation which are imposed on them. Once they register rights
then no other firm can use the same.
2.6 Role of personal property on economic development
Timmermann and van den Belt, (2013) define inventions are the creation of human mind
which can be registered with the name of inventors. As they are responsible to fulfil different
rules and regulation which are imposed on them. Furthermore, inventions are able to provide
several job opportunities to large number of people and effectively contribute in growth and
development of country. Large number of people receive employment through this.
As per the views of Mazzanti and Montini, (2011) it has been examined that growth and
development of the economy is largely effected due to various types of innovations and
inventions. Policy makers needs to understand the stronger protection of personal property rights.
The effective role of economic growth has been examined with the help of development in
economy. These results have been influenced due to trade liberation policy under the policy of
World Trade Organization (WTO). Intellectual property rights need to be observed by different
countries. For the same purpose inventors are responsible to frame several plans and strategies in
order to fulfil their target. Also they are try to fulfil rules and regulation which are imposed on
them. The government of United Kingdom is responsible to frame new policies and procedure in
order to control role and performance of parties who hold rights over intellectual property. Try to
implement such laws in entire country for the purpose of protection of existing laws. Surden,
(2013) have asserted that integrating development policies is helpful for the growth of
16

intellectual property law which has been considered as more fascinating as well as interesting
policies for the development on entire nation. As with the help of these rights it can control
performance of parties who are using certain rights and interest. Members of the country are
bound to build their knowledge and skills. IPR having capabilities to protect this section in
effective manner and try to secure their rights as well. Country rewarded inventors for their
efforts and skills which may affect growth or development of country through important ways.
Members of entire country are responsible to strictly follow policies which are framed by legal
authorities for the purpose of implementation of existing laws. With the help of procedure large
number of firms are attain success in capture better profit and maintain performance in
international market. Meanwhile, policy makers have to play significant role in stronger
protection of rights related to intellectual property within the growth and development of
country. Through such protection inventors are consistently innovate things which are not
previously registered by other parties. It is helpful for companies for innovate to capture better
market share. As these firms are able to enhance rate of innovation in order to effectively
participate in development of country. Moreover, members of firms have to purchase advance
technologies for promote their goods and services in market. Grant and Berg, (2012) present
views on advance technologies are updated by inventors with the help of their efforts, skills and
experience. With the help of such technologies, organizations are able to provide best quality of
goods and services to people and secure their interest as well.
Whish and Bailey, (2015) stated that Patent Act has been considered as basic landmark in
economic development. It may encourage large number of inventions as well as try to secure
such protections. It is merely granted to patentee for the purpose of monopoly. Different policies
need to be implemented with the help of compulsory licencing as well as registration of patents.
Development of firms is depending on creation or inventions. So that, inventors’ paly significant
role such firms for the purpose of fulfil set of target and achieve goals in stipulated time period.
Capacity id investments is also increase with the help of such rights. Furthermore, well defined
intellectual property rights has been considered as significant element of the economic
development as well as it is effective contribute in continuous success of country. As members
are bound to comply with set of principles which are related to their work. With the help of this
they can attain target and maintain performance in international market. Administration
continues to vigorously enforce the stated laws which are able to protect rights and interest of
17

real owners who hold their rights over personal property. Branstetter and Saggi, (2011) says
greater investments by companies has been encourage growth of economy. Globalization is
continuously increase with the help of such concept. Through this companies are depending on
technologies to produce goods and services of best quality to large number of people in order to
attract them and earn better profit. Firms have to promote their services with the help of such
technologies. These are presented by invention by using their skills and knowledge. Large
number of countries are connected with each other due to international treaties. It is the legal
term in which two or more countries or states are comes in legal contractual relationship with
each other and frame legal contract as well. For the same purpose they legal contract with each
other and responsible to fulfil different terms and conditions which are mentioned in document
due to mutual consent. Each state or country select representative from each state for the purpose
of comply with law and perform rules related to agreement. They sign document on behalf of
entire country. In which patent, copyright and trademark play important role. Williams, (2013)
present views most of the time countries or states frame legal contract which is based on such
immovable property rights. Companies and individuals can transfer their patent rights to other
and receive stipulated amount of money against the same. As they are bound to comply with
basic rules and procedure which are imposed on them and mentioned under law as well. Such
property considered as most significant asset of a business. Legal authorities are responsible to
take necessary steps for the protection of intellectual property rights and secure them for a long
time.
As per the views of Khoury and Peng, (2011) it is found that patents documents are the
legal term which consists several information on state of art. It enables to avoid unnecessary
related to wastage of resources. This process can lead improvement or development of products
and services and certain design of inventions. On the other side, trademark assists companies at
the time of launching or introduce of new products and services as these are technologically
based with the help of brand extension. Rights related to this are able to extend different types of
commercial benefits. It consists some other rules which are necessary to be fulfil by inventors. It
is successfully used for the purpose of facilitate effective innovations. Advance or innovative
technologies are more helpful for the growth and development of country. Thus, these are able to
provide various types of job and other opportunities Helfer and Austin, (2011). However, with
the help of these technologies companies are easily attain target and maintain performance in
18

international market. It provides valuable guidance to members of firm for perform functions
ethically.
2.7 Benefits of implementation of intellectual property law in UK
Gangopadhyay and Mondal, (2012) affirm that Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988,
as per rule of this law every company is bound to implement such law with in premises for the
purpose comply with law and secure certain rights over immovable property. This law can
provide protection form infringement. It is wrongful act in which one person use rights or
interest of another without taking approval or written consent. Thus, real owner of the property is
able to file case for receive amount of compensation as imposed on guilty. After implementation
of such law, it offers wider protection of law which has been considered as benefit. The
Government of UK is responsible to register their rights. Owners needs to be prepare written
document and mentioned all related information or data and must sign the same. Furthermore,
such legal documents become the prima facie evidence for them. Candelin-Palmqvist, Sandberg
and Mylly, (2012) stated that with the help of implementation of law in premises, firm can
comply with law and able to perform functions ethically. Policies related to intellectual property
(IP) has become increasing tool for the purpose of stimulating economic development or growth.
After such act they are able to take legal action against another person in case damages caused to
owners due to negligence to other person. Members of firm are responsible to provide proper
training session to their employees for the purpose of enhance their skills, knowledge and
experience. Through which they can build trust among employees and keep them for long time.
Andrés, Asongu and Amavilah, (2015) stress that, in case any type of dispute creates among
premises then it can resolve by rules of Copyright, Design and Patent Act 1988. Organizations
receive various types of benefits with the help of such law. Designs, symbol, packing of goods
and services and so on are the just the creation of human mind which are needs to register with
their own name. Such things are able to differentiate firm from other. It can attract large number
of customers and firm earn better profit as well. Through which buyers receive products and
services at reasonable price which are affordable for them. Legal authorities provide various
recommendations to members of companies for the purpose of perform ethically. As they are
responsible to fulfil rules, regulation and policies which are imposed on them and mentioned
under law. Also this law is able to encourage successful effective and advance digital
technologies. Present law consists several laws which are imposed on all companies. Hudson and
19

Minea, (2013) affirm that, creativity is the useful tool for firms which are able to maintain their
performance. The person conduct wrongful act under this law has been considered as criminal as
per the rule. Courts can have imposed penalties on criminal equal to damages caused to them. In
order to avoid such act higher authority of company needs to take a session of every members
and define their duties. As each and every members of firm are responsible to understand their
duties and responsibilities which are mentioned law.
Poku, (2017) have asserted that, inventions are able to create large number of job
opportunities. Person who are seeking for the job through this concept they can get easily. People
who wants to show or explore their skills and talent then can easily can do so. It is the process
which provide growth and development of country. Furthermore, such inventions are become
risk for the companies. Through implementation of this firm can reduce earning efficiency.
Because these inventions are not previously registered or use by any other firm. But risk no
entity can earn profit and explore their services as well. Also it is able to build competitive
advantage in order to deal with other firms. It is helpful tool to attract large number of customers
and try to provide best quality services to them. They can explore services and maintain
performance in international market. Patent is the effective system which is able of preventing or
safeguarding booming demand for patents which causing serious barriers to international market
entry under critical technologies. Reliable as well as affordable advice has been provided to
firms in order to comply with law and earn better profit as well. Acemoglu and Akcigit, (2012)
stated that legal authorities need to ensures that growth and development of intellectual property
system which is managed to fulfil set of goals and objectives. These policies are able to maintain
balance among target of the firm and benefits for the rights hold by real owners of the property.
It is helpful for the economic development for the betterment of UK businesses. The country
United Kingdom should have to focus on work to make the effective Patent Cooperation Treaty
which has been considered as a more helpful vehicle for the betterment of international
processing related to patent applications. This process is helpful for entities, though they can
secure rights and interest Branstetter, Fisman, Foley and Saggi, (2011). The UK is the country
which support moves takes by European Commission for the purpose of establish a frame work
for licensing of copyright. It is clearly beneficial for firms to perform business activities
ethically. It takes significant role in promotion of international efforts for the purpose of manage
patent applications. According to the rule of patentee act, patentees are responsible to registered
20

their rights by legal authorities. Such registration valid for stipulated time period only after this
time they need to follow particular steps for renewing patent rights and further enjoy services.

CHAPTER 3 – RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
After chapter literature review, dissertation consists research methodology. This section
provides information about several methodologies which are useful for the present study. Also it
provides information about how research carried out. It includes details about different sources
of data, collection techniques and other methods in order to collect relevant information about
present topic. The present study based on intellectual property law having impact on growth and
development on economy. This chapter is helpful for investigator to collect information and data
related to topic which are significant for them. With the help of methodology chapter, they can
easily analyse that which method is helpful for them and easy to follow as well. The researcher
has to opt different data collection techniques and gather information about present topic. As
they are bound to comply with rules and regulation which are imposed on them. This section
provides overview of the approach which investigator use in present dissertation. In which
researcher have to collect information or data with the help of primary or secondary data
collection method. As it consists research strategy, data collection method, ethical consideration,
research limitation and much more. Investigator has to frame several strategies in order to
comply with policies and procedure (Mackey and Gass, 2015). It is forecasting approach opted
by large number of investigator for the purpose of attain target or objective with in stipulated
time period. As researchers are responsible to frame plans and strategies which are helpful for
them to collect information about impact of intellectual property over economic development.
Strategies play significant role in preparing of best dissertation. This chapter involve research
design and approach which investigator have to use while preparing present report. There is
various research techniques has been used in order to achieve target. Investigators are
responsible to use all skills, experience and knowledge for the purpose of fulfil goals and
objective with in stipulated time period.
3.2 Research philosophy
This section defines philosophy which has been used by researchers while preparing
present report. It has been considered as broad term which involves growth and development of
knowledge. It shows the development of background study (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, 2015).
The present dissertation is the combination of positivism as well as interpretivism philosophy
22

which is opted by researchers. Interpretivism philosophy has assisted in giving importance to the
beliefs of the researcher. This method is based on real facts as well as figures which are needs to be
present by researchers. It is used to interpret the element which involve in present dissertation. In this
they have to follow systematic structure to comply with procedure of preparing or collection of data
(Silverman, 2016). Various elements are involving in this procedure which are helpful for them to
attain set of target. Present dissertation topic is based on impact of intellectual property on economic
development. In such case researchers are bound to present facts and figures of economic
development. Because inventions are able to provide several types of job opportunities to all large
number of people. But inventors are responsible to register their inventions in order to safe guard
their rights and interest. Also they are responsible to fulfil rules, regulation and policies which are
imposed on them and u\mentioned under law. There are different duties and responsibilities imposed
on them which they are bound to fulfil while prepare dissertation. This section provides information
about increasing rate of economic development due to intellectual property rights (Flick, 2015).
These are also called as personal property rights. Present philosophy has further assisted the
researcher in developing interaction with the economic environment. It is able to clearly present role
of intellectual property on increasing rate of job opportunities and other development of country. It
can expand skills, knowledge and experience of person. Through which every can get opportunities
to use their skills and talent.
The present report is based on positivism philosophy. With the help of this method
investigator easily identify concept and meaning of intellectual property rights over economic
development. With the help of the method they can easily collect information or data related to
present topic. Positivism philosophy has assist the researcher to take a structured and controlled
25 approach in conducting the research (Neuman and Robson, 2014). This involved
identification of topic and formulation of appropriate research questions by employing a suitable
research methodology. Logical information can be gathering by investigator with the approach.
This is helpful for them to attain target within stipulated time period. Intellectual property rights
are based on legal rules and regulation of United Kingdom. It has impact on the growth and
development of country. Inventors are responsible to register their rights as per the policies
mentioned under law. This procedure has been considered as significant duty of inventors as they
are responsible to comply with the positivism philosophy play significant role in collection of
data. It’s a helpful tool for gathering related information about intellectual property right of
23

inventors. As per the rule of law real owners of the property needs to be hold rights on the
property of stipulated time period only (Snyder, 2012).
3.3 Research Design
Another important concept of research has been called as research design. This
encompasses the strategy that a researcher uses so that different components of research can be
compiled together in a logical way (Vera and Fabian, 2016). It guides collection of data which is
related with present topic. This is the systematic approach which is used by large number
investigators while prepare present report. In the current report information needs to collect related to
immovable property rights which are provided to person who hold certain rights. It is able to assists
investors for collection of data and information. There are various types research design has been
used by researchers and helpful for them to gather data.
For the purpose of collection of information related to present topic investigator use
exploratory research design. It is needs to be adopted to complete target with stipulated time period.
This is an effective design which is helpful for the investigator when he has an idea, views as well as
seeks to learn or gather more data about it. Researchers are responsible to use design which consists
systematic procedure to attain target within stipulated time period. Exploratory research design is
able to suites to the present study well (Williams, 2011). It plays effective role in intellectual
property rights concept. Hence, the present study provides information about current topic which is
based on rights of real owner over personal property. With the help of exploratory design, the
effective research questions are able to explored in better way. Through which researchers are able to
collect more information based on rights related to intellectual property. It provides flexibility to
investigator to necessary changes as per the requirement of current dissertation. Furthermore, such
research needs to be conducted for problem through which studied more clearly, improve and
maintain final design and so on. It assists researchers to select best method of data collection, related
subjects and must more.
3.4 Research Approach
The significant research path has been described by the research approach. It is helpful for
continuous increasing validity related to social research. The current study is based on analysing
the concept of rights related to intellectual property (Alvesson and Sköldberg, 2017). There are
two types of approaches majorly used by investigators called as deductive and inductive.
24

Deductive approach is based on several theories after that focus on hypothesis. After that it
convert pattern into observation. This is the effective steps which are needs to be followed by
researchers. As they are bound to perform functions with the help of such approach.
On the other side, inductive approach has been used in present dissertation. It can enable
researcher to follow flexible structure which involving the process of conducting research or
finding. Inductive approach is the concept which moves from specific observations to broader
theories and generalizations (Riedl, Davis and Hevner, 2014). Thus, this concept is suits to the
present study. The investigator aims to analyses impact on intellectual property over economic
development. Also analyses the reasons of such changes or impact and how rights related to such
concept is having impact on economic development. In this way, different general conclusions as
well as theories could be or needs to be developed. Furthermore, inductive approach enabled
investigator to be maintain more exploratory. In this way, person is responsible to use several
types of real life examples. Through this they collect information related to current topics. Real
life should be take on the basis of subjective reasoning. They are bound to fulfil specific rules
which are imposed on them.
3.5 Research Type
There are various types of research type provided for researchers which are helpful for
them to gather information or data related to current dissertation topic. Some types are
qualitative, quantitative as well as case study. The present study is based on analysing the
success of intellectual property rights over economic development. Quantitative data collection
method used to collect information through primary source (Clarke and Fujimura, 2014). In
person conduct surveys, prepare questionnaire as well as personal interviews.
Qualitative research data collection method has been used in present dissertation. In
which they opt statistical as well as mathematical techniques for the purpose of systematically
investigating a phenomenon. The main aim of investigator is collect related information related
to current topic. They are effectively utilizing qualitative data collection method.
3.6 Data Collection methods
A significant place is hold by methods based on data collection. Before using such
particular or specific method of data, its suitability has to be managed by the investigator. This is
crucial or important for attaining the target or objectives of current dissertation. Furthermore, the
data should be collected with the help of two methods are known as primary as well as secondary
25

methods. Primary research should be conducted by researchers himself. In which they gather
data through conducting personal interviews, surveys, preparing questionnaire and ask questions
with customers and employees of the firm. Primary techniques have been involving collection of
first-hand information or data specifically for the purpose of current or present research. For the
purpose of present report, secondary data collection has been opted (VanPatten and Williams,
2014). Such data considered as fresh which are not bee used by investigator in previous and
other work. Through which they collect new or latest information related to impact on
intellectual property over improvement of economy. In which information should be gathered by
someone else. It is the effective sources of data. In which sources should be gather from books
and journals, research reports, conference paper and much more. It includes online database,
broadcasts as well as videos and so on. As present report is based on analysing the concept of
improvement in economy due to betterment of rights hold by real owner of the personal property.
Different types of sources such as online blogs, books and journals were referred or managed to
by investigator. Other sources opted were journals and books, newspapers, articles annual reports
of the legal authorities, role of industry of United Kingdom on development of economy and so
on.
3.7 Data analysis
Data analysis play significant role in procedure of data collection. Through this researcher
is effectively take a part in decision making process. It includes evaluation of present topic. This
chapter also consists presentation of data which is important for them. Data analysis is able to
provides assistance to the researcher for the purpose of inspection, cleaning as well as
transformation of information or data (Soni and Kodali, 2012). It is significant tool for reaching
or meet the result. There are merely two types of techniques has been used such as quantitative
or qualitative methods of data analysis.
Qualitative analysis is based on obtaining of in depth analysis of the present report. As it
is best suited for present topic which is related with identifying the impact of immovable
property rights over economic development of country (Bringle, Hatcher and Jones, 2012). It is
helpful in exploring different factors which are effective contribute in growth and development
of country. Through which they can analyse necessary changes required in implementation of
rules within organization. In thematic analysis all information should be collected which is able
to maintain information and based on current topic. As in which they are responsible to fulfil
26

rules and policies which are imposed on them. As various methods need to be opted which play
significant role in data collection method. Every theme based on different concepts of intellectual
property. These themes provide various information which are depends on rights over personal
property which are immovable in nature. In present dissertation, themes should be formulated on
the basis of benefits of intellectual property on economic development, its roles and
responsibilities and so on (Anney, 2014).
3.8 Validity and Reliability
While preparing the present research, it is difficult to apply best suitable techniques as well as
tools based on investigation. Furthermore, it is helpful to consider the effective concepts of validity
as well as reliability at the time of preparing report. Validity is concept which is able to indicates how
flawless a particular present research is. This is the effective tool which can be used or applies in
design and several methods of research which are used in present dissertation. At the time of
collection of data validity should be considered as findings (Robinson, 2011). As it shows true
reflection of phenomena. Such concept is being measured by investigator. Internal validity has been
concerned with validity of related tests. As which have been used by investigator. On the other side,
external validity belongs to ability with which such findings of a specific present report which can be
generalized to large number of population. In current report, collect information which is based on
role of intellectual property rights which provide various job opportunities to large number of job
seekers. As inventors responsible to secure their rights and interest which are mentioned under law
and maintain performance as well. Various types of roles and responsible to imposed on them.
Reliability has been considered as another concept of present research. It is based on quality
of measurement which is based on the current issue. It is the assessment tool which produces stable
as well as consistent result (Crul, Schneider and Lelie, 2012). The current study is tending to
analyse effective role of intellectual property over growth and development of the country. It is
reliable and required authenticate sources of information used in present dissertation. The collected
data or information has not been able to manipulated.
3.9 Ethical considerations
Being ethical and clear research is carrying out in the best transparent manner which
becomes important part of present report. Ethical consideration is the important part of
dissertation. This concept is related with several rules and regulation which are imposed on them
27

and mentioned under law (Stanley, 2013). Furthermore, present study is incomplete without
several norms as well as standards. Some ethical aspects are as aligned below-
 Restricted access- The present study is based on impact of intellectual property law
on economic development of country. Information should be collect with the use of
secondary data collection method. In which researchers required to less use efforts
for meet set of target. In current scenario, appropriate and proper permission from
several authors was taken as well as then significant information from these sites
was collected.
 Work of scholars- UK based organizations are responsible to perform functions in
ethical manner and try to satisfy needs to their customers (Gioia, Corley and
Hamilton, 2013).
3.10 Research limitations
Research may not be able to complete without having any type of limitations. It is not an
easy task for investigators to prepare dissertation. There are different types of challenges faced
by researcher while preparing present report. Some limitations associated with the present study
which are as follows- Time consuming process- The entire study is based on analysing role of intellectual
property rights over development of United Kingdom. Large number of job seekers
receive job from this concept. The effective information should be based on different
books and journals, articles, websites and much more. Methods which are used in such
dissertations are the time consuming process (Vamsi Krishna Jasti and Kodali, 2014).
This process consumed lots of time. Moreover, the present dissertation is needs to be
completed within stipulated time period. So that, through which some related information
not consists in report which becomes the limitation for investigator. However, researchers
are responsible to include all relevant information or data within effective time manner.
Due to lack of time person is responsible to add all related information which is based on
current data.
 Insufficient secondary information- In the present report, information should be
collected related to role of intellectual property in creation of various opportunities and
economic growth (Salaberry and Comajoan, 2013). Such data needs to collect with the
help of secondary data collection method. Hence, limitation faced by person is that
28

appropriate and effective information is hard to find. Thus, significant information is not
easily available which proved limitation as depends on facts. Researcher is try to include
information which is easily available through secondary research. They are needs to
consider information or data which are available from various sources. Due to lack of
legal provisions it is hard to collect information which is based on intellectual property
rights. As they are responsible to use various methods for the same purpose and gather
related information data.

CHAPTER 4- DATA ANALYSIS
4.1 Introduction

information through secondary source of data.
It is examined that countries with less level of enforcement related with mechanism have
a less rate of economic development or growth compared to any other countries who have an
above level of security or protection (Mandel, G.N., 2011). This concept always holds
advantageous position for the purpose of reach economic growth.

the dispute which create among organization.
Theme 9: Advantages of registration of intellectual property rights.
According to calculation which is used by investigator, it has been concluded that
registration is the lawful proceeding which consists several steps of registration. It is necessary to
obtain written document in the form of registration which is signed by legal authorities. Such
written or legal document has been considered as approval of legal authorities which is provided
to secure their rights and interest (Chiarolla, C., 2011). It is the prima facie evidence for them
which is used to legal action against infringer of rights. Infringement is the wrongful act, in
which one-person theft name, symbol, logo or other rights related to immovable property without
taking prior approval of the registered owners. Individual or firm who has been declared guilty
by court are responsible to pay amount of compensation equal to damages caused to other

significant duties and responsibilities mentioned under law which are imposed on them. After
following of several legal steps person can use right for long time and no cost required into this.
Patents rights are able to restrict other to use inventions which are introduce by inventor. He can
36

develop an international market to goods, services as well as process. Rights related to industrial
design are combined with the legal protection from other law (Steg, L. and de Groot, J.I., 2012).
Theme 10: Impact of intellectual property law in operations of companies.
On the basis of exploration of various secondary sources of information, investigator has
affirmed that implementation of intellectual property law on operational activities of company
play significant role. It can impact adversely as well as positively. Intellectual Property Law
Amendment Act 2015 is the legal proceeding which can secure and protect certain rights of
people. Build trust of employees and other members of company. Through which entities can
meet their set of goals and objectives within specified time period. After registration no other
individual or firm can use the same name, symbol, logo etc. which already registered. It can
secure rights of firm and maintain the same for long time. Registration should be valid only for
specified time period. In case firm use similar trade name as well as same domain name then
which leads to future dispute (O'Connor, T.S., 2011). There is dispute create among organization
related to inventions and other matter which can be easily resolve by present law with satisfy
parties and provide best possible justice to them. With the help of trademark rights, people can
easily identify goods and services of particular firm. It is helpful tool for build trust people and
maintain their performance as well. Products and services are easily identifying through this
process. There are various options are available for inventors to change their trademark, patent as
well as design. This process is suitable for the growth and development of company in
international market. It can easily resolve issues which create related to this topic. Related to this
concept researcher is responsible to collect information or data from various secondary sources.
Implementation of intellectual property rights having adverse impact on the business
operation and activities of firm. Through which members are bound to perform duties which are
imposed on them related to protection of rights. Needs to maintain confidential information and
not able to reveal in international market (Benet-Martínez, V., 2012). Provide restriction to them

37

Individual or entities can sell such rights to another in consideration whether in monetary
form or not. In order to complete this process, both parties come in contractual relationship with
each other. They form legal document and signed the same. Various types of terms and
conditions mentioned under such legal document which both parties are bound to fulfil the same.
An agreement which is enforceable by law is known as legal contract. Due to violation of legal
rules and policies by any of parties has been considered as wrongful act. In that case, government
of UK punish guilty for breach of contract and imposed penalty equal to amount mentioned

their duties and comply with law. Fulfil consideration of each other than selling process of rights
has been complete according to legal proceeding.
Theme 11: Several limitation of registration of intellectual property rights by Government of
United Kingdom.
After referring or study to several books, magazines, journals as well as online articles it
has been examined that Registration is the legal term which consists significant steps to follow
and comply with law. this this process having some limitations which are needs to be faced by
real owners of the property at the time of registration of rights. Legal authorities of UK are
responsible to fulfil rules which are imposed on them and mentioned under law. Furthermore,
registration is the time consuming process which is required by inventors. Also inventors are
bound to pay specified amount of money for registration of their inventions and creations. This is
the compulsory payment which is considered as non-refundable fee. This is the legal process
which mentioned under law. As members of country are responsible to follow the same for the
purpose of comply with law (Grant, A.M. and Shin, J., 2011). IPR lawyers, settlement fees, filing
fees, court costs and much more. These are considered as expensive for large number of
companies. For the same purpose, firstly inventors need to fill application and send same to legal
authorities to receive approval of registration. Thus, Patent application stated as making specific
technical information related to invention publicly available. Inventors are responsible to keep
their records secret otherwise competitors will use the same effectively. But due to filing of
application they have to present information related to their creation publically. Applying for the
registration of intellectual property rights has been consume much time as well as lengthy
process. Government play specific role in this process. As they are able to make necessary
38

changes according to the requirement of law. inventors need to remember annual fee at the time
of this process.
On the other side, taking legal against infringer has also become very expensive for
owner. Hence, declaration final justice takes time and consume cost as well. It provides
reasonable care to real owners of the immovable property. Without registration they are not able
to receive protection of rights and interest (Grosheide, F.W., Roerdink, H. and Thomas, K.,
2014). Furthermore, without this other individual and companies can use creations of owner. But
after this process owner can lodge complaint against guilty and receive amount of compensation
as well. In which researcher collect lots of information about limitation of registration of
intellectual property rights by legal authorities of United Kingdom.
Theme 12: Challenges faced by inventors while introducing of new inventions.
On the basis of exploring different secondary sources of data or information, it is stated
that introducing of new inventions are the creation of human minds. these are based on their
skills, knowledge and experience. While introducing the same inventors have to face certain
challenges. As they are bound to frame various plans and strategies in order to reduce such
challenges and responsible to take reasonable action for the same purpose. Several duties and
responsibilities imposed on them which are needs to be fulfil by them (Larsson, S., 2014). These
things reduce quality and efficiency of work. Inventions are much about marketing as well as
productions of new products and services in order to attract huge of people and earn better profit
as well. When these are needs to be implement in companies then it creates risk for entity.
Members are responsible to implement such rules and regulation which are imposed on them.
After this process is the core concept of boost up the level of profit margin of firm. Creation,
implementation, use and exploration is the specific process of inventions which takes time and
cost. Also it is not necessary that every invention should be beneficial for the firm. Inventors are
responsible to check before implement the inventions. Responsible to take backup plan if
creation is not become successful for entities. While introducing of creation in international
market it takes time and cost which reduce work efficiency of person that time. For the same
reason persons or firms are responsible to frame effective plans and strategies in order to attain
target in effective manner and complete goals within stipulated time period. Also they need to
consult with other members in order to receive their views on same.
39

Basic challenges faced by inventors while performing their function is that they need to
identify customers’ demand. So that, person is responsible to create things accordingly and try to
meet expectations of customers. Benefits of company needs to take into consideration while
perform activity based in introducing of inventions. Take help of team skills and efforts.
Inventors play significant role in growth and development of firm. Identify risk in
implementation of creation in company (Lu, Y. and Poddar, S., 2011). The main focus of person
is attainment of better profit. Innovation strategies is the helpful tool for them to attain target
within stipulated time period. Try to maintain health and safety of employees who are working in
premises in order to keep them for long time. Cleary communicate with other members for
receive their approval. Inventors of the firm are responsible to take effective part in decision
making process of firm. Selection of process, consider demands of customers of international
market, selection of techniques and methods, adoption of technologies are also become great
challenges for person.
While performing functions inventors have to analysis his own strength and weakness.
Because due to perfection in strength they are more participate in growth or economy (Helfer,
L.R. and Austin, G.W., 2011). Before presenting in international market they are responsible to
analyse. Use several methods to collect information of data related to present topic.

5.2 Recommendations
On the basis of above discussed data analysis, findings and conclusion it has been inferred
that proportion of rights having great impact on the continuous success of companies which are
based on country United Kingdom. However, it can further be improved so as to face several
future challenges. For the same reason several recommendations are as aligned below-
Useful segregation- As per the concept of intellectual property law. Legal authorities are
responsible to segregate rights on immovable property on the basis of immovable assets. The use
of Patents, trademark, copyrights, design etc. are different from each other. So that, government
of United Kingdom needs to provide powers top real owners on the basis of importance or
provisions of law. Inventors can create inventions according to the requirement of firms. As legal
authorities are bound to segregate powers among members of firms as per their skills, knowledge
and experience. Provide rewards to inventors for the efforts which they use in premises while
performing functions. After such segregation, companies able to smoothly perform business
activities which support inventors to comply with rules and regulation of firm. Various activities
should be performing in constructive manner.
Improve collaborative strategies and planning- Exploration or production firms have
great expectations from their service providers which are considered as helpful tool for them in
achievement of target within stipulated time period. In order to attain target investigators are
responsible to frame different plans and strategies and try to perform functions accordingly.
Without planning they are not able to meet set of objectives. For the same purpose members are
responsible to use their collective efforts for meet expectation of people. This will able to
increase operations of firms. Framing of planning and strategies is the forecasting process which
is helpful to attain continuous or long term success of entity. Also try to implement them in
effective manner.
Introduction of intellectual property rights- Protection of rights is the core concept of
increase better range of inventions. Members of companies are responsible to provide rewards to
inventors on the basis of various creation which can meet requirement of entity. In the present
report, researchers are responsible to collect more information and provide better introduction
46

about intellectual property rights. As they are bound to follow various duties as well as
responsibilities which are imposed on them. Thus, capabilities of inventors are depending on the
requirement of firm, skills and education of them, implementation of creations and much more.
Use of skills and knowledge- While introducing new creation, inventors are responsible
to use all their skills and knowledge in order to present their views in effective manner and
comply with rules. Because inventions are things which are newly introduce in international
market as which are not previously registered by any other individual or firm. So that, these
become risk for them. Due to this reason members of firm are bound to use different
technologies and methods in order to promote their goods and services. Through this activity
they are try to attract large number of firms.
Use of technology based solutions- This can be recommended for use of inventions
which are newly introduce by individual or firm. Through which they are try to fulfil
requirement of firms and maintain performance as well. Also try to make necessary changes after
creation of things. Changes required to make perfect as per the requirement of entities.
Design industry- The effective role of intellectual property rights has been considered as
significant branch of creative or innovative economy. Related laws are able to maintain effective
relationship among inventions as well as development of economy. Intellectual property rights
are having great impact on the continuous of economy and maintain performance as well. The
present assessment has been including exploration with effective design rights of whether access
to the proposed Digital Copyright Exchange. These rights are able to protect rights and interest
of parties who are registered name and other things with their own name. Furthermore, this is the
legal proceeding which consists related information data related to current topic.

which are totally based on endowment of intellectual property rights. Owners are responsible to
fulfil rules and policies related to laws and any other IP rights protection fields. This the effective
