Some examples of IP rights are copyright, design rights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets.
Moral rights are linked to copyright, but are slightly different. Moral rights relate to authors maintaining control over creative works. The main points to note are:
- that the author has a right to be named on the work,
- the author has a right for the work not to suffer degradation and
- the author has the right for their work not to be shown.
