In Copyright, Intellectual Property Rights

Did you know intellectual property laws extend beyond Earth?

Any inventions, artworks, or trademarks created on the International Space Station (ISS) are subject to the laws of the country the creator represents.

For example, a U.S. astronaut’s invention would fall under U.S. patent laws, even in orbit.

This ensures creators retain rights to their work, no matter where in the galaxy it happens!

With space exploration expanding rapidly, IP law is already gearing up for the future—covering everything from Moon-based operations to Mars colonies.

Who knows, the next frontier for trademarks might be the stars!
