Intellectual Property Terms

Today's Terms

Novelty and prior art

Definition:
A trade secret may be a device or process which is patentable; but it need not be that. It may be a device or process which is clearly anticipated in the prior art or one which is merely a mechanical improvement that a good mechanic can make. Novelty and invention are not requisite for a trade secret as they are for patentability. These requirements are essential to patentability because a patent protects against unlicensed use of the patented device or process even by one who discovers it properly through independent research.

WTO

Definition:
World Trade Organization - is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. WTO was created to oversee the operation of GATT.

Counterfeiting

Definition:
The act of producing or selling a product containing a sham mark that is an intentional and calculated reproduction of the genuine mark.
