LEGAL ENGLISH - Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is the common name given to intangible assets (defined as non-monetary assets that cannot be seen, touched or phyically measured) which is derived from creativity. For instance, a music cd may exist physically the rights of the composer of that album do not. This is now classified as intangible.

Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, industrial design, confidential information and copyright. A short summary will be provided on each type of intellectual property in due course.
