  • Summary

    Through an interdisciplinary lens, this chapter provides an overview of the book and a detailed introduction to intellectual property (IP), exploring its conceptual, legal, and philosophical dimensions. Intellectual property, defined as non-physical property arising from cognitive and creative effort, contrasts with physical property. The chapter outlines the foundations of Anglo-American IP systems, encompassing copyright, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks, as well as the moral rights doctrine in continental European law. It highlights the role of IP in incentivizing innovation while addressing challenges posed by technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, and the proliferation of low-quality or misleading content.
