It varies from country to country. In the US, works created by officers or employees of the federal government in the course of their duties are not protected by copyright; the government can have copyright assigned to it, however. The government does hold many trademarks and patents.

What is the difference between tangible property and intellectual property?

The biggest difference, and the one cited most frequently in arguments about copyright and filesharing, is that if I take your physical property, you don't have it anymore. You had a screwdriver, now I have a screwdriver. But with intellectual property, there's no thing changing hands: you had a song, now we each have a song.Intellectual property rights also expire after a set period of time. After a while, you can use my song without my permission. But you always need permission to use my screwdriver.The most esoteric difference is that real property has inherent value, while intellectual property does not. An actual car has a known worth; the patents that make up that car, and the trademarks the car is sold under, only have value in relation to the actual car.
