Intellectual Property:

Just as the law protects ownership of personal property and real estate, so too does it protect the exclusive control of intangible assets. Intellectual property law deals with the rules for securing and enforcing legal rights to inventions, designs, and artistic works. The purpose of these laws is to give an incentive for people to develop creative works that benefit society, by ensuring they can profit from their works without fear of misappropriation by others.  

Intellectual property laws allow for protection of such interests through patents, trademarks, copyright, designs, circuit layouts, and plant breeder's rights. Almost every business has some form of intellectual property that they need to protect. These often relate to the branding of a business or the products and/or services supplied by the business.
