The initial ideas are the building blocks for many creative innovations, serving as an inexhaustible source for technological advancement. The increasing reliance on modern technology has transformed creative thought products into integral components of the assets for institutions and companies, alongside tangible assets. These are commonly referred to as intellectual property. Given the utmost importance of intellectual property rights, their legal protection has become a matter of interest for many countries.

Consequently, it has become necessary to establish more regulated legal means for their protection and enact specific laws to reinforce this protection.
