From my understanding few are on the payroll of these companies, we have argued that aspect of intellectual property rights before.
Why can they not be held accountable for misuse and misrepresentation of said intellectual property?
Introduction
Intellectual property (IP) is the intangible creation of the human intellect. The domain of Intellectual property is very vast, covering novel ideas, innovative creations, unique designs or methods of development, literary and artistic works etc.
Intellectual property Rights (IPR) are the rights assigned to the creators of intellectual property regarding its exclusive use. When conferred, IPR empowers the creators to prevent others from using or tampering with their products without their prior permission or authorization, by taking legal action against them.
Need and Emergence of IPR
The concept of IPR is not a recent one. Its emergence can be traced back to the Renaissance Era. A Venetian Law regulating trade protection and the conferment of copyright to Johannes Gutenberg for the first ever printing press can be cited as the rudimentary stages in the development of modern laws on IPR.
