To me, intellectual property means owning what you yourself came up with. Such as if I have an original thought, I own that thought.
I looked to Wikipedia as my expert about this topic, and the definition I found through them was, "
Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized under the corresponding fields of law.[1] Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property rights include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets in some jurisdictions."
Through that definition, some examples of intellectual property is copyrights, trademarks, and patents. The concept of intellectual property can change though when it's manipulated such as how something may be phrased. The original writter may have said it a certain way, but if I put that into my own words, it's no longer theirs, instead, it's slightly different and mine.
