What is an idea? Ingenious intellectual activity Labor of mind Different from manual and physical labor Original, inspired, influenced or even pirated Born out of imagination & knowledge
Imagination breeds creativity and creativity breeds GAINFUL COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY---resulting in Generation of wealth!

The concept of ownership is critical to the concept of property. In the legal sense, property refers to the bundle of rights that the law confers on a person by virtue of the ownership and possession of an object. By exertion of his intellect, either in the form of ideas or technology, man converts a natural resource into something of utility, making it an item of property. This brings us to the concept of intellectual property. It is simply the property created by the application of human mind.

Rights CHANGE according to the situation it finds itself in. Sometimes it is being ENTITLED to something from someonean IMMUNITY from having a legal status altereda PRIVILEGE to do somethinga POWER to create a legal relationship. Each invokes a different protection!

IPR: Meaning and significance Intellectual Property Rights

A point to appreciate here is that IP is concerned with mans capacity to produce something new and offer it for public use. The property does not lie in the thing so produced and offered but in the owners rights over the creation of his intellect.

Again, what IP protects is the use or value of ideas and not the abstract ideas themselves; there are no rights, hence no property, over the ideas per se.

GI must identify a good. That means that a GI could be any expression -not necessarily the name of the place where the product originated (icon, symbols, words/phrases, non-geographical name) The good must necessarily possess the given quality/reputation/other features that are essentially attributed to the designated geographical area of origin.

The geographical area must be identified with the indication.

protection of knowledge and community rights.

Having the exclusive right to use a geographical indication is essential for quality assurance and thus consumer protection.

The good monopoly is one which serves to give the public through its incentive, something which it has not had before and would not be likely to get without the incentive at least not so soon. The bad monopoly is one which takes from the public that which it already has or could readily have without the added incentive of the patent right. Judge Rich

A patent for the mere use of a known contrivance, without any additional ingenuity in overcoming fresh difficulties, is bad and cannot be supported. If the new use involves no ingenuity but is in manner and purpose analogous to the old use, although not quite the same, there is no invention. On the other hand a patent for a new use of known contrivance is good and can be supported if the new use involves practical difficulties which the patentee has been first to see and overcome by some ingenuity of his own.
