Intellectual Property can include several types. However, in India, IP is majorly divided into 5 heads. These are Copyright, Patent, Trademark, Industrial Design, and Geographical Indications.
Copyright: A set of IP rights that allows the author of creative work to have exclusive rights over their work. In India, copyright is allotted for musical, artistic, dramatic, and literary work along with sound recordings and cinematographic work. Computer Programs are also protected under it.
Ex: Copyright is availed for a fiction book one has published.
Patent: It is an exclusive right over an inventive process or product that allows the inventor to exclude others from making, using, selling his invention. He is able to receive this right in exchange for publishing to the public the specifications of his invention.
Ex: Patent is availed for the invention of a new measuring device.
Trademark: As one can understand from the term, Trademark is a mark used to identify the source of the product or service and differentiate it from others' products. It can be in the form of words, symbols, graphics, etc.
Ex: Trademark is availed for a new logo of a shoe company.
Industrial Design: This type of IP looks into the design aspect of a product that helps differentiate the goods from another. Here, design refers to the aesthetic or visual appearance of the product and not its functional element.
Ex: Industrial Design Protection is availed for the shape of a mobile phone.
Geographical Indications: GIs consists of a name or a sign that signifies the geographical location of goods, giving it its distinctiveness in terms of its character, reputation or quality.
Ex: Geographical Indication is availed for a type of oranges from Nagpur.

Hi There 🙋♀️
I am Priggya Arora, Daughter of Inspiring Parents, Alumna of IIT Kharagpur, Engineer turned Lawyer and Entrepreneur, and now Founder of PA Legal - an Intellectual Property Law Firm in India.
Since childhood, I've been fascinated by technology and curious about learning how things operate. This led me into completing my undergraduate degree in Engineering from G.B.P.U.A.T., Pantnagar.
I first considered law as a career option when I had to help my father with some convoluted and confusing legal work. After struggling with it for a while, I concluded that engineers, with their attention to detail, could do a better job of managing techno-legal issues. Once I discovered a Law course at IIT Kharagpur and a career field that combined both technology and law, there was no looking back.
After I started working for an IP law firm where I had to juggle multiple tasks and clients, I discovered the third love of my life - performance optimization. I am an ardent and constant learner of new and old workflow optimization techniques. I’ve gone through a variety of courses and books on the topic, all of which gave me the perspectives and tools to continuously improve performance while effectively managing time. I continue to be a big proponent of these techniques, as it has made my life easier and happier.
I believe in cooperative growth where it’s to everyone’s benefit to have everyone achieve their best self. My interests have been pretty wide and varied, and they always influence how I lead my life. Entrepreneurship is the most important of these, and it’s also a way to put into practice all the other skills and interests I have learned over time.
At my firm, PA Legal, I focus on forming lasting connections with my clients. My strength lies in innovating and customizing legal strategies to suit the client’s needs, regardless of what kind of legal protection they need or which part of the world they come from. I have expertise in advising clients on intellectual property and patent protection strategies for subject matters related to fields of software, electrical, electronics, telecommunications and robotics.
Being a young, strategic and responsive lawyer with experience in Intellectual Property, Contracts, Transactions and Entertainment Law matters, I constantly provide support to a number of Indian and foreign clients. I also love interacting with people and thus, enthusiastically engage myself in conducting intellectual property awareness workshops, lectures and seminars.
