IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create.

Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time.

Divided into two categories, IP includes industrial property and copyright. And both are equally as valuable since the ramifications of not protecting these assets can be serious.
