What is intellectual property (IP)?

Intellectual property (IP) rights are important for all businesses either large or small and at any stage of their growth. IP rights prevent unauthorised exploitation of the IP, for example, unauthorised manufacture, importation, or sale of a product covered by a patent or bearing a registered trade mark and enable people or businesses to receive financial benefit from what they create or invent.
