Intellectual Property Academic Report

Intellectual property is any property that results from intellectual, creative
processes—the products of an individual’s mind. Although it is an abstract term for an
abstract concept, intellectual property is nonetheless familiar to almost everyone. The
apps for your iPhone, iPad, or Samsung Galaxy, the movies you see, and the music you
listen to are all forms of intellectual property. More than two hundred years ago, the
framers of the U.S. Constitution recognized the importance of protecting creative works in
Article I, Section 8. Statutory protection of these rights began in the 1940s and continues
to evolve to meet the needs of modern society. In today’s global economy, however,
protecting intellectual property in one country is no longer sufficient. The United States is
participating in various international agreements to secure ownership rights in intellectual
property in other countries.
Whether locally or globally, businesspersons have a vital need to protect their rights in
intellectual property, which may be more valuable than their physical property, such as
machines and buildings. Consider, for instance, the importance of intellectual property
rights to technology companies, such as Apple, Inc., and Samsung. These two
companies have been involved in patent litigation over the designs of their smartphones
for several years.
