Intellectual Property (“IP”) refers to any tangible or intangible property or asset, which is a product of the human intellect that has commercial value and includes any; literary and artistic works; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. Like any other property right, Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) allow creators, or owners of such IP to benefit from their own work or investment in a creation. In this age of globalization, with companies, institutions and individuals relentlessly exploring ahead in newer fields, where path breaking inventions emerge every day, the field of Intellectual Property Rights has gained prime importance. Thus, IP and rights attached thereto have gained fundamental magnitude and are being intensely protected.

Among all the other numerous fundamental issues involving developing a product, raising capital, hiring employees, meeting statutory compliances etc., intellectual property protection can feel expensive or deflecting from the goals of launching a product into the market before other competitors. However, the value of several startups is primarily based on their intellectual property i.e. their "Intellectual Capital". For a technology startup, intellectual property issues are among the most essential concerns which need serious deliberations. In this digital age, it has become easy for users to abuse Intellectual Capital that has been developed after several years of hard work. The work that has been produced with diligent and painstaking efforts, gets easily copied, reworked and duplicated with minimal efforts. This resultantly affects upon the economic conversion goal of a startup like obtaining venture capital funding, investments by angel investors or partnerships. Therefore, it is vital for every startup to understand the importance of IPR and protect itself from violation or breach by a third party.
