Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright and Plagiarism were the topics which that taken up by Mr Rupak Chakravorty today. Intellectual property is an expression that encompasses both industrial property and works protected by the Copyright Law. Intellectual Property Rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds.  They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for certain period of time.  

There are two types of Intellectual Property: 

(i)  Industrial Property which includes Patents for inventions, individual designs, trademarks and                 geographical indications

(ii) Copyright and related rights cover  literary, artistic and scientific works, including                                 performance and broadcasts

Patent is an exclusive rights granted to an invention. 

Trademark is a sign capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing goods or services of one undertaking from those of another undertaking.
