Intellectual property (IP) refers to the creations of the mind, which include intangible ideas, inventions, designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce. It is a legal term that encompasses various types of rights and protections for creators and inventors to safeguard their works and enable them to benefit from their inventions.
The main types of intellectual property include:
- **Copyright**: Protects original works of authorship, such as literature, music, and art.
- **Trademarks**: Protects symbols, names, and slogans used to identify goods or services.
- **Patents**: Protect inventions and processes, granting the inventor exclusive rights for a certain period.
- **Trade secrets**: Protect confidential business information that provides a competitive edge.
While physical creations can be related to IP (for example, a sculpture or a product), intellectual property primarily concerns intangible creations.
