Intellectual Property Rights Policy

At Chicapparels Shops, we are fully committed to honoring and safeguarding intellectual property rights. We ensure that all content and materials available on our platform comply with applicable legal standards. This policy outlines the types of intellectual property protection we support and the procedures for reporting potential infringements.

Types of Intellectual Property Protection

1. Copyright
Copyright law protects the expression of original ideas fixed in a tangible medium. This includes creative works such as photographs, paintings, poems, stories, and other artistic or literary content.

2. Trademark
Trademark law protects distinctive words, symbols, designs, or logos that identify and distinguish the source of goods or services. This ensures businesses can maintain their unique brand identity in the marketplace.

3. Publicity Rights
Publicity rights safeguard an individual’s name, image, and likeness, preventing unauthorized commercial use of someone else’s identity without their explicit consent.
