WHAT DO YOU OWN??

Intellectual property, what is it? Well intellect refers to that of the knowledge we as individuals contain, and for property, well that’s often referred to as an object, something in which you hold ownership over. So, if you put both these terms together, intellectual property relates to the intellectual creation of something, such as ideas, whether it be an idea for a book, an art work or design, or simply even a piece of coding for a computer server, if you’ve thought it, it’s your intellectual property.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patentscopyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create.

Intellectual property has four main rights which protect each individual type of content, trademarks, copyright, patents and design rights, these rights allow for the creative flow to continue, continually bringing additional content to light and awarding people for their creativity and innovative thinking. Therefore, creating an environment in which intellectual property can grow and flourish.

  1. Well written blog!! The use of videos with very effective, “Intellectual property has four main rights which protect each individual type of content, trademarks, copyright, patents and design rights” this was a helpful sentence! You have done an excellent job explaining the concept of ‘intellectual property’. You have thoroughly described and simplified the topic, your post has made it really easy to understand and doesn’t confuse the topic by irrelevant information.
