In the modern world, there are several parallel interpretations of the term intellectual property. The most common definition says that this is an exclusive right that is temporary in nature, enshrined in law and aimed at the results of human intellectual activity and means of individualization. There are many different objects of intellectual property. The presence of a clear and prescribed separation allows us to understand what applies to each group and to carry out a certain classification for the purpose of subsequent practical application. First of all, there are two large categories.
The first of these is industrial property. This includes everything that affects the competitive advantage and allows you to achieve lower cost, make the product recognizable, increase its selling price - in a word, it concerns the manufacturing and trading sectors. This category includes:
patents for inventions;
registered trademarks and service marks;
ownership of industrial designs;
production secrets (so-called know-how);
scientific and technological progress;
achievements of breeders (for example, new varieties of apples);
The second group is copyright for creative inventions. This includes:
rights to literary works (it includes poems, short stories, short stories, novels and other literary forms, as well as letters, diaries and even personal notes of famous people, as well as other types of documents);
musical works (not necessarily of the classical type, but all in which artistic images are expressed through any sounds);
artworks (drawings and paintings, sculptures and even photographs);
software;
