Intellectual property (IP) rights protect an individual or business against unfair encroachment and misappropriation of hard work and creativity by usurpers and infringers.  Society’s IP laws promote competition and innovation in the marketplace of goods and services.  By protecting intellectual property, society rewards the creative, industrious activities that provide new and better choices to all members of society..
