The concept of "porta est nasciturus" is a Latin phrase that translates to "the mother is born with the right." In the context of intellectual property law, this phrase serves as a metaphor for the inherent rights and privileges granted to individuals or entities from birth.
Patents are granted to inventors and companies who have developed novel and non-obvious inventions. The U.S. patent system aims to encourage innovation by providing exclusive rights to inventors for a certain period of time (typically 20 years).
Intellectual property law distinguishes between tangible and intangible properties, each with distinct characteristics. Tangible property is physical in nature, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, which can be owned, produced, and transferred. Intangible property, on the other hand, is non-tangible, including ideas, inventions, and designs.
In the U.S., the Lanham Act governs trademarks, while copyright law regulates creative works such as literature, music, and art. Trade secrets are confidential information that is not publicly disclosed, and companies must take measures to protect them from theft or misuse.
