The Florentine genius, Leonardo da Vinci, designed numerous inventions throughout his life, some of which we use today. Patents did not yet exist in his time and to protect his inventions, Da Vinci wrote his notes backwards to make them difficult to read and to prevent them from being copied.
Patents and Brands are integrated within the concept of Industrial Property and refer to a right granted by a State to use something exclusively for a specified period of time. The patent protects a novel technology or invention while the brand protects products or services that already exist, but that seek to differentiate themselves from others.
Albert Einstein was a German physicist, who changed the way we understand our world with the introduction of the general theory of special relativity. A lesser known fact is that this brilliant scientist entered the world of Patents at the beginning of his career.
