Intellectual property rights are rights recognized to owners of ideas, inventions, original expressions, so they could have the same legal regime with the property rights over material goods.The need for legal regulation of intellectual property was caused by more intense events recorded in all states of the world, including Romania, the counterfeiting of products and services and piracy, as counterfeiting, forgery and piracy are phenomena closely related to smuggling, fraud and illegal trade.In our country, to ensure protection of intellectual or collateral property, have been successively adopted several laws, related largely to the provisions contained in the Directives of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, regarding compliance with intellectual property. These laws concern: the protection of industrial property rights, protection of copyright and related rights and other intellectual property rights regulations.
