2.2 Intellectual Property

Normally, looking at property we think of things like land, money, 
equipment, cars and other physical entities, but there is also another 
kind: intellectual property. This legal term is defined as ``intangible 
property that is the result of creativity, such as patents, copyrights, 
etc.'' [Oxford98, intellectual property] and grants individuals or 
groups certain control over valuable information.
