Key IP Areas in Azerbaijan:

1. Copyright Protection: Protects the rights of creators in fields such as fine arts, publishing, entertainment, and software development. Copyright law ensures that unauthorized copying or use of a creator’s work is prohibited.
2. Trademark Law: Safeguards words, phrases, symbols, or designs that identify a product or service’s origin. Trademark registration in Azerbaijan typically takes 6-9 months, with rigorous assessments by the Center for Expertise of Patents and Trademarks.
3. Patent Law: Grants protection to new inventions, including products, processes, and designs. Patents encourage innovation by allowing inventors to protect their creations from unauthorized use.
4. Trade Secrets: Confidential business practices, formulas, or designs that offer a competitive edge. Trade secrets, like the Coca-Cola formula, don’t require registration but must be safeguarded to maintain their confidentiality.
