What exactly is ‘intellectual property’? The term is reserved for types of property that result from creations of the human mind, the intellect. It can be divided into copyright and related rights on the one hand and industrial property on the other. Industrial property covers patents, trademarks and designs. Rights of ownership are granted by the State.
This resource provides an overview of intellectual property rights and how they relate to major treaties as well as how libraries and information centres fit into the picture.
