Intellectual property is an "umbrella term" covering copyright, patent, trademark, etc. Copyright is a specific term referring to the protections in place for authors of certain original works.
Intellectual property is an umbrella term covering patents, trademarks and copyrights.
Intellectual property rights are specific abilities, granted by law to rights holders, for the control of intellectual property.
Copyright protects "original works of authorship," such as books, songs, works of art, plays, and (oddly) vessel hull design. Patents grant a property right to the creator of an invention, which can be a thing or a process.
Copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter. If I draw or write about a machine, copyright protects my drawing or writing, but it doesn't prevent anyone else from building and selling that machine. If I patent the machine, no one else can make, use, sell, or import the machine without my permission.
One relatively small difference that has a large practical impact is that the patent application process includes an examination of related patents, to prove that the new idea is original. Copyright has no such examination: if I say it's mine, the Copyright Office assumes it's mine until someone proves otherwise.
yes copyright can protect intellectual property, but only relating to artistic,musical,
written works (like novels, biographies, poems, non-fiction books, songs, lyrics, videos, broadcasting rights, etc.). Each of these works have a protection period as prescribed by law for entire life of the author (plus 25 to 60 years after the death of author). These rights are transferable to others on payment of some consideration (an amount fixed by the author). Also these rights can be inherited by the family members and descendents after author's death.
Copyrights work does not include an invention of a product, capable of having an industrial application. Such an invention is protected under Patents laws.
Also apart from Copyrights and Patents, the following rights are covered under Intellectual Properties Rights:-
- Designs
- Trademarks
- Geographical Indications
Real property and personal property are actual physical things you can touch; if someone takes it from you, you don't have it anymore.
Intellectual property is esoteric; if someone infringes your intellectual property rights, you still have the intellectual property, it's just been devalued slightly.
Intellectual property refers to creations of the human mind that may be protected under the law such as ideas, patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc. It may be considered intangible personal property.
To put it simply, real property is land, anything under the land, anything permanently attached to it, and the bundle of rights that are appurtenant to it. Personal property generally refers to everything else: the items which are movable and not a part of the land.
Personal property can be tangible or intangible. Tangible personal property is something you can touch and is movable. Intangible personal property is property that has no physical existence. Examples are: stocks, bonds, bank notes, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, professional reputation, goodwill, and trademarks. Some "untouchable" items may be represented by a certificate or license.
Copyright law protects a certain type of intellectual property. Other types of intellectual property are protected by trademark law and patent law.
Intellectual property rights is the legal right to property owned by a content creator, and often protected through the use of a trademark or copyright. This content is the creator's intellectual property.
Intellectual property law defines intellectual property rights.
"Foreground intellectual property" is commonly the new intellectual property which is developed arising out of a relationship between two companies collaborating together. Contrasted with "Background Intellectual Property" which would be the intellectual property developed independently by each individual company prior to entering into the collaboration relationship. If two companies are collaborating together, they both may contribute background intellectual property from previous work they have done (and which they will normally own themselves but licence to the other for the purposes of developing the new product) - together the new product they develop which arises out of the collaboration and the background IP will form foreground intellectual property.
Software is protected by copyright as a literary work.
The relationship between civil society and property is directly related. Property will only be acquired and owned where a civil society exists.
YES - there are significant differences between the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the 'Social Networking On-line Protection Act (SNOPA). SOPA was supposed to protect intellectual property owners from having their intellectual property stolen or devalued through copyright infringement and counterfeiting. SNOPA is supposed to prohibit employers and certain other entities from requiring or requesting that employees and certain other individuals provide a user name, password, or other means for accessing a personal account on any social networking website. It is intended to protect privacy, not intellectual property rights.

Before the internet existed. Internet piracy involves infringement of copyright, or intellectual property rights, which has been illegal for a long time.The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), passed in 1996 (and made effective October 28, 1998), closed some unanticipated holes in existing copyright statutes. The Act explicitly extended protection to various digital media and criminalized acts intended to gain unauthorized access to or allow distribution of copyrighted materials such as movies, music, software, etc.The law was written to implement treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which encourages legal cooperation between participating nations in safeguarding creative or intellectual products. Not all countries abide by these treaties.
People worked together and shared their property.
The most significant events that have prompted amendments to existing copyright and intellectual property laws have been technological advancements. Before 1900 the primary focus was on written works. Between 1900 and 1940 motion pictures, records, & radio forced a redefinition of creative works and this had to be expanded in the 50's to include television.Now the internet is forcing copyright laws to address the permeability of national borders and is causing a standardization of terms.
