First, some background. In the the United States, we use the term #IntellectualProperty (IP) as a collective noun to describe a variety of discrete areas of law, including:
1. Patents
2. Copyrights
3. Trademarks
All of these regimes have different governing statutes, different rules, different case law.
(There is some overlap & some cross-pollination, however, which is why I advise students who are interested in any one of these areas to study all three of them.)
