Almost no papers, tutorials, or panels on the subject of IP protection appeared in any these proceedings.Nevertheless, attention to IP protection remains crucial to businesses and designers wishing to protect their efforts. Just look at the music industry. Intellectual property protection of UIs in the United States consists primarily of patent and copyright protection. Patent protection consists of function patents and design patents. Function patents concern the protection of utilitarian ideas only, and design patents protect not only a functional invention but certain appearance characteristics (primarily visual) that are inherent to the artifact's novel invention. Copyright refers to protection of the actual textual, graphical and visual, and sonic attributes or expression of the words, images, and music of artifacts. Although registered design patents exist and are available on the Web from the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO), examples of rights being exercised and legal actions or court precedents under those design patents are more difficult to find.
