This document discusses intellectual property and copyright. It defines intellectual property as creations of the mind like inventions, literary works, or images. Copyright is a legal term that describes creators' rights over their artistic and literary works. Copyright covers works like books, music, movies, and art, but not ideas, facts, or works from the government. The duration of copyright is typically an author's lifetime plus 50 years. When copyright expires, a work falls into the public domain and anyone can use it. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) promotes intellectual property protection internationally.
