Against Intellectual Property
by Stephan Kinsella
⇥ Intellectual property is a broad concept that covers several types of legally recognized rights arising from some type of intellectual creativity, or that are otherwise related to ideas. IP rights are rights to intangible things - to ideas, as expressed (copyrights), or as embodied in a practical implementation (patents). Tom Palmer puts it this way: "Intellectual property rights are rights in ideal objects, which are distinguished from the material substrata in which they are instantiated." In today's legal systems, IP typically includes at least copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets.🏁
