Intellectual property rights are like any other property right. Creators can be given the right to prevent others from using their inventions, designs or other creations – and to use that right to negotiate payment in return for others using them. These are “intellectual property rights“. These rights are outlined in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Books, paintings and films come under copyright; inventions can be patented; brandnames and product logos can be registered as trademarks; and so on. Governments and parliaments have given creators these rights as an incentive to produce ideas that will benefit society as a whole.
