bottom, justified Worldwide | USA | Europe | Additional Resources The following links lead to a myriad of sites with helpful
information about IP and the legal frameworks that provide IP protection
internationally. Many of the patent
offices around the world have on their websites their own helpful summaries
of the local, country-specific IP laws and protection procedures, so a given
country’s patent office website may be the best place to begin an
investigation about IP protection in that specific country. Non-governmental sites, such as
Wikipedia.org, provide insightful, multi-jurisdictional overviews of IP
issues across various spectra. Worldwide go to: USA
