intellectual property
“We need to protect intellectual property”
“Intellectual property is regarded as a condition for innovation”
/used:/
As an umbrella term for different areas i.e.: trademarks, patents, copyrights
If used instead of the term copyright, it makes the discussion unclear
To suggest that intangible assets can be treated as tangible ones
/recommendations:/
Do not use, promote the term “intellectual monopolies“ instead
Always discern between copyright and industrial rights (patents, trademarks)
Make a point that copyright is a time-limited monopoly to an intangible object
