Intellectual property disputes arise when individuals or organizations claim that their rights to creations, inventions, or brands are being violated. These disputes often involve issues related to patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets. For example, a company may argue that another business is using its patented technology without permission. Resolving these disputes can involve legal action, negotiations, or mediation. Courts may be asked to determine whether infringement has occurred and what remedies should be applied. The goal is to protect the rights of creators and ensure fair competition in the marketplace.
