The trademark is an intellectual property product and property of the beneficiary. The registration of a trademark gives the proprietor the right to use it exclusively in any way, in his products and / or services, in packaging and in any printed material. Thus it contributes to the recognition of the origin of the product or service by the consumer. The registration lasts for ten (10) years and can be renewed every decade and for unlimited decades.

Intellectual property is a kind of right to intangible property, especially works of the intellect, and belongs to the broader category of rights that protect the works of the human intellect and is more commonly known as Intellectual Property Rights. Intellectual property, now essentially synonymous with what is called "Copyright" in Anglo-American law, gives a limited but absolute and exclusive right to the creator of intellectual property, as defined by law, to exercise a number of powers, economic and moral in nature.

An industrial design is granted legal protection upon registration before the Industrial Property Organisation. The main conditions for protecting an industrial design are that it is "new", in other words that no identical design or model has been made available to the public, and that it is of "individual character", in other words that it creates a unique impression on an informed user in relation to any other design. The product categories for which protection may be requested cover jewellery, clothing and footwear, foodstuffs, textiles, furnishings, interior design items, packaging, devices and machinery, games and many other categories including typographical symbols. A detailed list of products for which protection may be requested is shown in the classification of the Locarno Agreement. At the same time, OBI also operates as a receiving office for applications to register industrial designs abroad.
