General issu e s on intellectual property rights 1.1. Intellectual property and protectíon of intelỉectual property ríghts Intellectual property can be understood as achievements resulting from Creative activities of h u m a n beings in the process of vvorking, m anuíacturing and conducting busi- ness. Intellectual property is created by h u m a n intellect. This property is invisible b u t very valuable because it is able to create spiritual and m aterial values, an d bring about competitive advantages to its owners, possessors or users. Intellectual property rights are recognized and protected by law. Intellectual property rights are the rig h ts of organ- izations, indìviduals to their intellectual property, including copyrights and C o p y r i g h t • related rights, inđustrial pr0Ị>erty rights and rights to p la n t varieties. Protection of intellectual property rig hts m eans th a t the law provides for and ensures conditions for right holders to carry out their rights, an d a t th e sam e tim e prevents 258
