Part 7/14:
This property becomes protected rights once inventor’s or creator's work is documented or registered. The core principle is that expression turns a mere idea in the mind into a legally recognizable property. This allows creators to control access and use, earning recognition or monetary benefits.
The Pact Between Innovator and Society
The IP system functions as a mutual exchange: the government grants exclusive rights to creators for a limited period, provided they disclose their invention or creation and actively work to commercialize it. This benefits society by ensuring that innovations are shared, improved upon, and ultimately benefit everyone.
