Intellectual Property
​Registered IP
Processes

Registering IP

While some forms of IP protection are automatic (e.g. copyright in artistic works in New Zealand) most forms of IP protection are formal processes where they are registered. The advantage of the formal process of registration is that not only is the protection attained stronger, with rights defined in statute, the process often allows the protection to be tailored to your specific needs.

The process of registration differs not only for the type of protection but also from country to country (though there are often many similarities). There are also many options allowing an applicant to tailor the protection attained to specific needs and requirements - again these can differ between countries and regions. One example are processes available in the United States such as divisional patent applications, continuation patent applications, and continuation-in-part applications which can increase the ability and flexibility for an applicant to tailor their protection to match their changing business strategies (with certain constraints).
PATENTS

Intellectual Property Registration is:
-     a more involved process;
-     able to tailor protection to specific needs;
-     often flexible depending on available options;
-     able to provide stronger protection than automatic or common law options often can;
-     able to be more straightforwardly enforced, as the registration process defines the specific extent of protection
