Intellectual property consists of property such as an invention or the subject of a patent or trademark, being property that is not a tangible object.
A patent is where someone has obtained a legal right to exclusively use a new process, methodology, materials or equipment. A trademark is where a form of brand identification has been registered and can be exclusively used by the owner of that trademark.
The registration of one's intellectual property will prevent others from using it without the prior consent of the owner.
Many of the disputes within this area relate to the unauthorised use of intellectual property or close similarities between those used by various persons/companies.
Where there is an intellectual property dispute alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as conciliation, mediation and negotiation are available and commonly used. Negotiation is often a good starting point to determine if the dispute can be resolved amicably and without escalating it to conciliation, mediation or even Court, where greater costs will be incurred.
