'''Definitions:'''

'''Technical Definition:''' Intellectual property is a legal field that protects the creations of authors, such as musical, literature, symbols, images and designed used by the public.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property#Purpose
</ref> Some of the systems or tools used to achieve this are, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright Copyrights], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark Trademarks], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent Patents], and other related rights.
Intellectual property is defined as an intangible property that has commercial value including copyrighted property such as literary or artistic works, and ideational property, such as patents, appellations of origin, business methods, and industrial processes<ref>http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=intellectual%20property</ref>.

'''Laymen Definition:'''
Intelectual Property gives the author the right to protect his or her own ideas from being used with out their consent or fair payment.

'''Social Significance''' It is extremely important that you patent, copyright, or trademark your inventions no matter what because if you create something and you do not protect it, your work will be accessible to the public. They will steal your ideas and use them for their own gain and they will have no reason to give you any kind of profit for your idea. On the other hand if you do patent your idea and they use it, then by law they will have to give you money every time they use your idea.

Apple admitted that they did not create the iPod. The author was a British man named Kane Kramer, he invented it and patented it. But 30 years ago he did not have enough money to buy another patent for his creation which cost 60,000 Euros. Apple took advantage and used his designs to create the iPod. Kane Kramer does not get a cent for what he created because he did not have enough money to get a patent.<ref>http://www.smh.com.au/news/articles/core-ipod-invented-by-furniture-salesman/2008/09/10/1220857618764.html</ref>
