Bibliography 10 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Intellectual Property Intellectual property is the field of law which is concerned with securing the interests of those who produce original works. It covers everything from inventors to literary and creative works, as well as trade names and pictures. In other words, it acknowledges that the outcome of its creativity and selfexpression may be held by someone. http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/ RIGHTS PROTECTED BY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS Purpose IP laws were designed exclusively to enable individuals to profit financially or get recognition from their creative work. The IP framework aims to promote an environment where creativity and innovation may thrive by achieving the proper balance between the demands of inventors and the broader public interest.
