Thailand recognizes 3 broad categories of property rights: Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights. The Patent Act protects both inventions and product designs and pharmaceuticals. The Trademark Act governs registration of, and provides protection for, trademarks.  The Copyright Act protects literary, artistic works, and performance rights, by making it unlawful to reproduce or publish such works without the owner's permission.

For all patent, copyright and trademark registration procedures, please refer to Department of Intellectual Property. Click here
