Intellectual property laws deal with the wide range of fields, primarily defense of rights in intangible assets whose existence is defined as the outcome of a person's creations. Under this heading one can find inventions and patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights in literary, musical and artistic works, commercial secrets and reputation. Intellectual property is granted to the intellectual product and not the tangible product, requiring examination of the mental effort made by the inventor.
