Intellectual property disputes refer to controversies arising between intellectual property right holders and unspecified third parties due to the exercise of intellectual property rights or infringement upon such rights by third parties.
Common types of intellectual property disputes include:
- Ownership Disputes: Controversies concerning the identification of the legitimate rights holder(s), such as whether rights belong to a single party or multiple co-owners.
- Infringement Disputes: Conflicts arising from unauthorized use of intellectual property by third parties without the rights holder's authorization.
- Contract Disputes: Disagreements among parties in intellectual property transfer or licensing agreements, such as breaches of contractual authorization limits by licensees.
- Administrative Disputes: Controversies resulting from objections to decisions made by intellectual property administrative authorities.
