"Intellectual property" is a term reserved for types of property that result from creations of the human mind, the intellect. In simple words, Intellectual Property is an expression of an idea. Intellectual Property is commonly referred to as IPR or IP.
There are six kinds of Intellectual Properties, namely:
-
Patents – A technical solution for a technical problem e.g. a new form of automobile engine.
-
Designs – Aesthetic appeal of an article e.g. the shape of a car.

The outstanding features of a property is that the owner of the property is free to use it as she/he wishes, provided the use is not against the law, and to exclude others from so using that owned item of property.
