Intellectual property, like other property, is a matter of great importance for those who are involved in creating new ideas and information in any field of study or work, but particularly in science, technology and entertainment. In the 21st century – when information, ideas and artistic expression are more important than ever – issues of intellectual property have become increasingly important. Gaining more knowledge about intellectual property will provide students, teachers and the public in general, with current information on laws and issues related to intellectual property. Such information can increase chances for ethical business practices worldwide.
