Using DRM to protect intellectual property rights

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION

Intellectual property protection in the digital world is all about protecting your IPR from misuse. In order to do that you must have a system that is capable of providing intellectual property protection, because you must have something in place that defines which rights you are exerting and therefore what protection is in place.

As shown in our articles on intellectual property rights and intellectual property theft, it can be quite difficult to decide what rights you are going to assert, and therefore how you are going to protect them. Indeed, you may find it easier to look at controls you want to apply (protection) than bother to spend time worrying about whether you are trying to protect copyright or trade secrets.

Intellectual property rights protection is provided on the Internet and in computer systems by applying digital rights management (DRM) controls to the information that you want to protect. Hence the link with intellectual property rights management.

Intellectual property rights protection usually revolves around technical methods and measures that prevent those who are authorized to make use of information unable to make unauthorized use of that information.
