Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. It is protected by law and infringement of a persons’ intellectual property rights may lead to litigation in response to the infringement leading to law suits and damages. IP is protected by way of patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create.
