Often hear that an IP right allows the owner to prevent someone using their IPOf course this is correct but the IP right is far richer that that.It’s a bit like saying a property right gives you the right to prevent someone coming onto your land or into your building but obviously property rights are far more that that.IP can be use a very effective tool to control the results of creativity and innovation.
