- what a trademark/design right/utility model right is
/patent/copyright,
- how intellectual property rights come into existence, cease to exist
- what rights the right holder has,
- how rights are transferred (e.g. transfer of rights (licensing), sale)
- how the right is enforced,
- the consequences of infringing rights.
