Intellectual property (IP) covers creations of the mind, including inventions, designs, brands, artistic works, and other original ideas. In a knowledge-driven economy, these assets are increasingly valuable and require careful legal protection. Certain forms of IP in Thailand must be formally registered to secure exclusive rights and prevent unauthorized use.
At Base Law Firm, we assist both Thai and international clients in managing, registering, and enforcing intellectual property rights, while also providing guidance on handling disputes.
IP is present in many aspects of business and creativity. The primary types include:
Words, logos, symbols, or slogans that identify and distinguish products or services. Our team supports:
Covers creative works such as literature, music, images, films, software, and other original content. Copyright protection grants creators exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, or create derivative works.
Protects inventions, processes, devices, and technical methods. Patents allow exclusive use, manufacture, and commercialization of innovations, particularly in technology and engineering sectors.
Covers confidential business information with commercial value, accessible only to a limited group. Protection relies on nondisclosure agreements and other confidentiality measures to prevent misuse.
IP disputes in Thailand are governed by the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) and adjudicated in the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court (CIPITC). These cases may involve both preemptive enforcement and formal litigation.
