According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.  There are two categories of intellectual property: industrial property and copyright.  Industrial property includes inventions, trademarks, industrial designs and geographic indications of source.  Copyright includes literary and artistic works. 

Why should Virginians care about intellectual property?  It supports the economic prosperity of Virginia and protects the innovations of Virginia’s engineers, inventors, scientists and artists.  According to a study by the Global Intellectual Property Center, intellectual property supports 1.36 million jobs, or 42% of Virginia’s private sector jobs.  IP intensive companies pay 32% higher wages than non IP companies and from 2009-2011, 112,208 jobs were created by IP exports.  Intellectual property protection creates jobs for Virginia – and that is reason to celebrate!
