Copyright and rights of patents constitute one of the main intellectual property rights,
whose objective is to solve a series of conflicts of interest that originate between the
authors of the intellectual creations, the publishers and other intermediaries that
distribute them and the consuming public.
Today both terms have been converging to the point where the law recognizes the
author of an intellectual or artistic work as well as a technological inves- tment, food
chemistry, etc., to authorize its use and reproduction and to participate in the benefits it
generates .
How feasible is it for companies in developing countries to protect the rights of
their inventions, is it an opportunity or a threat?
Patent protection is one of the most important ways of safeguarding business assets.
Patents offer the unparalleled opportunity to start with career advancement in the
market. Thanks to patent protection, companies in developing countries will be able to
overcome all the difficulties inherent in perfecting their new technology, improving it and
finalizing its distribution, before competitors start to start up. But what is even more
important is that patents prevent the upstarts from opening a hole and seizing their
market. Patent protection prevents competitors from producing, using, selling, offering
for sale or importing the technology in a country or countries in which the companies
have obtained patent rights. Enjoyment of that kind of exclusivity is invaluable,
particularly when a technology vital to such companies is at stake.
A key point about the legal protection of intellectual property is that it converts intangible
assets into exclusive property rights, albeit for a limited period of time. Thanks to this,
your SME can claim title to their intangible assets and exploit them to the maximum. In
summary, the protection of intellectual property makes intangible assets somewhat
more tangible by converting them into valuable and exclusive assets that can often be
traded in the market which become an advantage in developing countries.
In our days, creation must be defended first of all against the commercial
interests that detract from it. Copyright, in particular, should be defended
and saved from the deformation that has been caused in it by commercial
interests.
The space for free creation must be guaranteed and this is a very
important way to protect it, to encourage it, to be successful and
economically speaking, and thus to participate effectively in the market.
