Description

Intellectual property rights are a type of intellectual right which give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time. Intellectual property can be made up of copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets.

The main purpose behind these laws is to promote creativity by giving creators control over their work so that they will not be exploited by others who may want to profit from it without paying them. These laws also protect other people’s ideas from being copied or plagiarized.
