ABSTRACT
Intellectual property law (IPR) are legal privileges granted to a person, individual or an organization for the inventions of the mind, including inventions, symbols, names, images, artistic works and designs used in commerce. The roots of intellectual property law can be traced back to the 18th century, with a significant development occurring in 1790 when the United States enacted its first patent statute. This marked a pivotal moment in the formal recognition and legal protection of intellectual property rights. While the particular legal structures for Intellectual property safeguarding varies internationally, most jurisdictions offer safeguarding under major categories such as, trademark, copyright and patent laws. Digital marketplaces frequently involve the trade of software applications, multimedia content, e-learning modules, digital art, and private systems all of which are inherently tied to Intellectual property. These digital products derive Their value primarily from the Intellectual property embedded in them, making sturdy legal safeguarding indispensable.E-commerce platforms must implement comprehensive Intellectual property rights (IPR) policies to manage licensing, prevent violation, and facilitate legitimate trade.
