    • Private Property: Well-understood in Western societies. Ownership of physical things (house, car, bike). Exclusive right to exclude others from use.
    • Intangible Assets: Ideas, knowledge, and information. Unique characteristics. Hard to exclude others from using them; different from tangible property.
    • Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs): grant creators exclusive rights over intellectual productions
    • Scope of Protection: Different types of protection including patents, copyrights, trademarks, designs, and trade secrets.
    • Different IPR types: Subject matter, scope of protection, length of protection, standard for protection, procedure to obtain a right, cost of protection.

    Why are IPRs Important?

    • Ubiquitous: Almost all products are protected by some form of IPR.
    • Growth: Worldwide patent and trademark applications are increasing, reflecting growth in a more technology focused economy.
    • Value: IPRs are a key source of value for established firms and startups, often accounting for a large percentage of a company's total value.
    • Importance for Entrepreneurs: IPRs are crucial for new ventures or potential startups for raising capital, attracting investors or even selling the business
    • Ignorance is not bliss: Lack of proper IPR knowledge and training can cost startups dramatically. Important for successful creation and protection of ideas.
    • Failing to Protect: Case study of Gordon Gould; Examples of ideas stolen with or without appropriate legal protection.
