Patent is a protection for a new technical solution to a problem. A patent gives you exclusive right to commercially use an invention.

A trademark is a name, symbol or a distinguishing sign, which is used to identify products or services.

A design protection protects the appearance and shape, but not a product’s function or the underlying idea.

Copyright protects music, movies, literature and other creations such as sculptures, furniture, lamps and architecture. Even the source code to a software is protected by copyright.

A publication certificate is needed to publish news papers or magazines (also called periodicals).

PRV offers a range of different services for those who want to protect an innovation, trademark or design, learn more about intellectual property rights or need help and support.
