10. What is intellectual property? (WIPO) Creations of the human mind Creations of the human mind Relates to items of information or knowledge, which can be incorporated in tangible objects at the same time in an unlimited number of copies at different locations anywhere in the world Relates to items of information or knowledge, which can be incorporated in tangible objects at the same time in an unlimited number of copies at different locations anywhere in the world Intellectual property rights protect the interests of the creators by giving them property rights over their creation Intellectual property rights protect the interests of the creators by giving them property rights over their creation
