businesses property rights to the information
and intellectual goods they create, usually for
a limited period of time. This gives economic
incentive for their creation, because it allows
people to profit from the information and
intellectual goods they create.
• These economic incentives are expected to
stimulate innovation and contribute to the
technological progress of countries, which
depends on the extent of protection granted
to innovators.
• The Statute of Monopolies (1624) and the
British Statute of Anne (1710) are seen as the
origins of patent law and copyright respectively ,
firmly establishing the concept of intellectual
property.
