entrepreneur.com - To mine the value in intellectual property, you first have to know what you've got. A lot of people have intellectual property of great value and don't even realize it. Identify it, secure it and protect it-the three steps you must take before you start looking for licensing partners. You can't sell what you don't own, and having the right patent or trademark registration will help you protect what you've created.

Intellectual property comes in many flavors, including trademarks, utility patents, design patents and copyrights. Conceivably, one item could be protected by a copyright, a trademark and a design patent. That's the good news. The bad news is that each type of protection has different rights and limitations, and they are not always complementary. Each type of protection has a different duration: A patent is the shortest, a trademark exists only while you use it in the marketplace, and a copyright is perpetual.
