WIPO has it's own definition intellectual property.
The World Intellectual Property Organization defines intellectual property as creations of the mind: literary, inventions and artistic works, and names, images, symbols, and designs used in commerce.
Just like any other product of value, intellectual property is desired and sought by others. In Vermont intellectual property theft has grown drastically over the last decade and is responsible for massive economic losses of many citizens, while Vermont intellectual property lawyers are fighting to protect your copyrights.
Copyright infringement happens on a day-to-day basis, especially since the evolution of the Internet, which is governed by the same intellectual property laws as any other media. While people don't make the connection to ordinary theft, many are surprised by the strict penalties that await those that violate intellectual property laws.
