Intellectual Property (IP) Characteristics of intellectual property The owner of IP is the author, or creator Because of its intangible nature, ownership cannot be established over an idea Thus, property rights are awarded to the physical expression of the author s idea (such as a book) -> despite being called property, IPs are quite different from tangible properties Lesson 5 Economics of ecommerce
IPs are no Property Important to recognize: economically speaking, IPs are no properties as e.g. tangible commodities despite the misleading term, and IP laws do not protect the said property, but the interests of the owners derived from the use of that property although this interest may very well be termed as property in the legal sense.
