So far we have talked about actual objects – things we possess. But what about ideas? How do we own them? How do we get them? Think about a story that you might create. You have spent a long time thinking about this story and are very proud of it. Where did your ideas come from? How long did it take to come up with the ideas? Once you had the idea what else did you need to do? What else did you have to think about? How did you go about creating your story? What were the different parts of the story that you had to think about? What do you think was original about it ? Is this what made you proud of your story?
The things we create with our thoughts and imagination can be very important to us. Such creations and their protection are often referred to as “Intellectual Property”
