Intellectual property varies wildly in value. For every successful sound recording, for example, which might be worth millions of dollars, there are hundreds of thousands of valueless ones. For every world-reknowned logo or slogan, there are hundreds of thousands of trademarks you'll never see. For every Snuggie, there's a Slanket.
For the most part, you'd be unlikely to buy the rights outright anyway; licensing is far more common. That would let you use the IP specifically the way you want, and let the rightsholder license other uses to others. Say you're a flag company, and you want to make a Cleveland Browns flag. You don't want to buy the logo, you just want to license it for this one little use. You can see where the price would change based on that.
According to copyright.gov, copyright protects rights of intellectual property and not companies, and any work created is immediately protected under copyright, free of charge. With a clothing company name, you're probably wanting to trademark it, which can cost a few hundred dollars.
When a person creates an intangible asset such as a literary work, an artistic design, or other such ideational creation, they are allowed to have intellectual property attorneys protect their creative work legally. The attorneys can do this by filing patent, copyright or trademark applications for their clients. They can also file documents of origin that protect business methods and industrial processes. The law has recognized that the work of a person’s mind and intellect are just as much an asset to that person for monetary gain as is physical property. The protection by law of intellectual property reserves the rights of the originator to benefit from financial gains inherent within those ideational works. The rights to profit from Intellectual assets, including designs, drawings, logos, phrases and processes can be protected by intellectual property attorneys. The law protects the mind work you have put into your creation, but an idea may not be protected. Copyrights and new patents can also be established upon proof that your idea improves upon another’s work. There is some research required to determine that an idea, design or process has not been previously patented or copyrighted. Your intellectual property attorneys will do these searches prior to filing any legal documents of protection. It is important to not infringe on someone else’s protected creative work. Plagiarism can be a problem that could end up in a lawsuit or fines. The worth of many modern companies is based upon the rights to intellectual property that they hold, as those rights can limit production to the rights holder for profit. The concept of intellectual property is interesting, because the topic involves intangible property that cannot be held or seen in many cases. For example, early copyrights were introduced as a way to protect the financial interests of book publishers rather than those of the authors. This concept also deals with matters like unfair competition, another intangible. Many property laws are global, and countries have worked together to establish laws and procedures for protecting intangible assets like intellectual property. Enforcement has been complex, due to the nature of legal protections in different countries, but when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) agreement was passed in 1994, it strengthened global protection of intellectual property. Due to the complex nature of protection of creative work, clients should consult with intellectual property attorneys to assure that all documentation is correct and properly submitted.
