It exists in literature, arts and science, such as books, theatre plays, cinema, sculpture and painting, photography and illustrations, musical compositions and many more creations. Other intellectual products such as software and database of the personal computer are also protected by the intellectual property law clauses.

Intellectual property only protects the original works and it is acquired as of right upon creation of the work without requiring any further action by the creator or registration of the work in any service.
