Below are brief descriptions of each of the components related to intellectual property & industrial property. Each of these topics meets a need related to the protection of human creations, whether the creation be for commercial uses or simply to protect the ownership of an artistic creation.

A trademark is a legal symbol used to uniquely identify a product or service (or groups of products and services). Each country has an institution dedicated exclusively to the registration of the Intellectual Property and/or Industrial Property, and this institution plays a role as an Official Registry and as Watchdog of new registrations that could violate previously registered Trademarks. Trademarks can be classified as one of the following:

With the copyright protection the holder of a creation is awarded the property rights of economic content, which can benefit from the use, reproduction, communication, implementation and dissemination (or his legally authorized licensees). Copyright protects literary, artistic and literary and scientific. They do not protect ideas or systems.

Patents are a right granted by the state to an inventor (or his representative) in order to ensure that only the patent holder can use a patented technology. This law also permits the owner to sell, grant or tender the use of a patent to another party, as long as the third party abides by conditions set by the owner. Patents are associated with technology and are commonly used to record production processes with commercial purposes. Granted Patents have a defined duration, and after the deadline there is no right given to the holder. Such protection is commonly associated with the term Industrial Property, because it is associated with production processes.

Internet domains are temporary rights granted by the authorities in charge of domain name registration of the extension, these authorities are appointed by ICANN. For Argentina the domain extension is .com.ar, and allows a website to be linked to a geographical area to facilitate the search for future visitors to the site. The Internet presence through a distinctive and recognizable name is essential to unify the communication, for example, of a company. There is no 1-1 relationship between Trademarks and Domain Names, but in most cases it is possible to file an appeal when a domain name happens to carry the rights previously granted to a holder of a trademark.
