Patent vs. petty patent — what's the difference?

Patent: 20 years, requires inventive step; Petty patent: 10 years (renewable), lower bar — suited to incremental improvements.

Does copyright need registration?

Copyright arises automatically upon creation — no registration required. Recording with DIP helps prove the date.

What are the penalties for infringement?

Criminal: 6 months-4 years imprisonment, 10,000-800,000 THB fine. Civil: damages up to 2× lost profits.

How are trade secrets protected?
