	Intellectual Property Guide: Overview

		Intellectual property concerns the 'property of the mind', property that can be embodied in a physical entity (whether a multimillion dollar painting or a kid's scribble) but is distinct from that entity and can, for example, be traded separately.
		Intellectual property law struggles with content that isn't fixed, for example oral traditions of some indigenous groups that have not been recorded and indeed have not been conveyed outside the clan.

	Intellectual property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intellectual property laws confer a bundle of exclusive rights in relation to the particular form or manner in which ideas or information are expressed or manifested, and not in relation to the ideas or concepts themselves (see idea-expression divide).
		The basic public policy rationale for the protection of intellectual property is that IP laws facilitate and encourage the pursuit and disclosure of innovation into the public domain for the common good, by granting authors and inventors exclusive rights to exploit their works and invention for a limited period.
		The exclusive rights granted by intellectual property laws are generally negative in nature, and therefore only grant the holder of IP the ability to exclude third parties from infringing on their monopoly.
