Description
Many people confuse the concepts of the ownership of Intellectual Property (IP) and the inventorship or authorship of creations, or sometimes they are simply not aware of their different nature. This fact sheet aims to clarify the concepts of ownership, inventorship and authorship, by explaining the different characteristics and shedding some light on the way they should be dealt with in order for any person involved in the creation of intangibles to properly identify them and avoid encountering serious problems.
