Summary
In the contemporary global society, intellectual property (IP) is the coin of the realm. As the product of human minds, hearts, and souls, IP is perhaps the most valuable natural resource of the information age. Equipped with the knowledge of what IP is, how important it is in daily life, and how the rules work, anyone can harness IP to empower themselves and their communities.
