Intellectual Property

Meaning

Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols, names, and images used in commerce, that are legally protected from unauthorized use. In the hormonal health and wellness space, IP is critical for protecting novel peptide sequences, proprietary hormone delivery systems, unique diagnostic assays, and specific clinical protocols. Securing intellectual property rights encourages innovation by providing the creator with a temporary monopoly over their creation.
