I have never heard of intellecutal property before. But if I had to guess I would say it has something to do with own's property that one creates but not sure what type of property it exactly refers to.
But according to WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works and symbols, names, images and designs used in commerce. From the definition itself I can say that it is not limited to just one definition and category but is very tangible.
The examples of intellectual property from academic and or everyday life can be trademarks, copyrights including novels, poems, films, art work, etc.
The concept of intellectual property can change when it can be manipulated by not giving credits to the original creator and when the original work are violated by editing or adding own thoughts.
Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on intellectual property.
Intellectual property still remains intellectual property if it is manipulated, but copyright is violated if credit is not given to the original creator of the work.
Sincerely,
