Intellectual property

The EU has common rules for intellectual property (Photo: www.gcsl.in/INTELLECTUAL%20PROPERTY%20.html)

Intellectual property is a design or an idea, which belongs to the person who invented it. The law prohibits others from copying it. The EU has common rules for intellectual property, for example biotechnical patents.

The future

The Council has agreed on common rules for a new Community patent and a new Patent Court to be established by 2010.
