Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind:
inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images,
and designs used in commerce.
Intellectual property is
divided into two categories: Industrial property, which
includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial
designs, and geographic indications of source; and
Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works
such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works,
artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs
and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights
related to copyright include those of performing artists
in their performances, producers of phonograms in their
recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and
television programs. |
