Why?

You may have heard (or read) the words 'intellectual property', often shortened to IP. This refers to the innovative work that has been added or built into the product you are buying. Not all products contain IP. Products that do contain IP are those items like music, films, software, and branded goods that contain artistic content, unique design features and a degree of scientific knowledge to enable them to be produced.

Pharmaceuticals and even regional food products are illustrations too.
