+{{a|ip|}}Not to be confused with {{confiprov|confidential information}}, [[intellectual property]] covers [[copyright]]s, [[patent]]s, [[trade mark]]s, [[property]] rights that arise at [[common law]] (or under [[statute]] ) which can be enforced against all comers, and not simply as a result of any {{t|contract}}.
+For [[intellectual property]] rights to arise there needs, as the name suggests, to be some application of someone’s intellect to the creation of the information. Not all information can be protected: raw data, for example, can’t.
