Summary
The search for an answer to this question has solicited two main approaches. One approach associates intellectual property (IP) with the protection of ideas, or the fruits of the human mind. Implicit in this approach is that the protection of IP would have the same justification as ensuring the appropriation of the fruits of human labour. This notion is implied in the text of Article 27.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.1 The other approach associates IP with invention and creation. This is perhaps the most common approach.
