What is Intellectual Property law?
Intellectual property law is a set of rules that protects creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, brand names, and artistic works. It ensures that people who create new things can protect and control how they are used and make money from them. Intellectual property law helps encourage creativity and innovation by giving creators exclusive rights to their work for a certain period of time.
