  Intellectual rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intellectual rights (from the French "droits intellectuels") is a term sometimes used to refer to the legal protection afforded to owners of intellectual capital.
This notion is more commonly referred to as "intellectual property", though "intellectual rights" more aptly describes the nature of the protections afforded by most nations.
"Intellectual property" was generally used to advocate a belief that copyrights and patents should provide rights akin to physical property rights.

 Intellectual property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term intellectual property reflects the idea that the subject matter of IP is the product of the mind or the intellect, and that once established, such entitlements are generally treated as equivalent to tangible property, and may be enforced as such by the courts.
Intellectual property laws are generally designed to confer a bundle of exclusive rights in relation to the particular form or manner in which ideas or information have been expressed or manifested, and not in relation to the underlying ideas or concepts themselves.
Exclusive rights may be analyzed in terms of their subject matter, the actions they regulate in respect of the subject matter, the duration of particular rights, and the limitations on these rights.

Recently the general trend in exclusive rights law has been expansion: to cover new types of subject matter such as databases, to regulate new categories of activity in respect of the subject matter already protected, to increase the duration of individual rights, and to remove restrictions and limitations on these rights.

In addition, 68% of responding DPs believed that whilst there was database right in their collection of metadata records [Council Directive, 1996], this right was "implicitly waived" within the OAI community.
However, as a result of this three-pronged approach to rights expression, the actual rights metadata records were not very descriptive of the permissions and restrictions granted by the licences.
The expression of rights and permissions relating to an individual resource (such as a research paper) would be expressed by the use of a separate rights metadata record.

The assignment can be a transfer of all rights of exclusivity in the patent, of an undivided portion (for example, a 50 percent interest), or of all rights within a specified location (for example, a certain area of the United States).
In intellectual property law, there are important distinctions between “exclusive licenses” and “nonexclusive licenses.” An exclusive license is “exclusive” as to a defined scope; it is not the one and only license granted by a licensor.
Under copyright law, an exclusive licensee is the owner of a particular right of copyright, and he or she may sue for infringement of the licensed right.

 FRB: Speech, Greenspan--Intellectual property rights--February 27, 2004
Intellectual property--patents, copyrights, and trademarks--represented a far less important component of the economy, which was mainly agricultural.
Whether we protect intellectual property as an inalienable right or as a privilege vouchsafed by the sovereign, such protection inevitably entails making some choices that have crucial implications for the balance we strike between the interests of those who innovate and those who would benefit from innovation.
A noticeable component of the surge in the trend growth of the economy in recent years arguably reflects the benefits that we have derived from the synergy of laser and fiber optic technologies in the 1960s and 1970s.

 The Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property rights had their origin in governmental privilege and governmental protectionism, not in any zeal to protect the rights of creators to the fruits of their efforts.
Ethically, property rights of any kind have to be justified as extensions of the right of individuals to control their own lives.
Suppose producers of intellectual products — authors, artists, inventors, software designers, etc. — were to set up an analogous court system for protecting copyrights and patent rights — or rather, copyclaims and patent claims (since the moral claims in question, though often legitimate, are not rights in the libertarian sense).

The most noticeable difference between intellectual property and other forms of property, however, is that intellectual property is intangible, that is, it cannot be defined or identified by its own physical parameters.
Although the right conferred by a patent is a right to exclude others from making, using, or selling a patented invention during the term of the patent, it is important to understand that a patent does not necessarily give the patent owner the right to make, use, or sell the invention himself or herself.
A copyright is an exclusive right to reproduce an original work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, to prepare derivative works based upon the original work, and to perform or display the work in the case of musical, dramatic, choreographic, and sculptural works.
