Abstract
Intellectual property (IP) is one of the legal subjects which is increasingly receiving attention, but about which little is generally known outside specialised legal circles. 1 This is because IP in itself has always been an integral part of the general economic social and cultural development worldwide.2 This begs the question: What is intellectual property? IP refers broadly to a number of distinct types of creations of the human mind, for which property rights are recognised. Its influence extends to every aspect of life because it cuts across all disciplines.
