Muscle cramps result from an involuntary contraction of the skeletal muscles and are a common symptom of dehydration, fatigue, poor circulation, and nerve compression. Muscle fatigue from improper conditioning or prolonged exercise is a common cause of muscle cramps.
The law of intellectual property can be seen as analogous to the law of tangible property in that both consist of a bundle of rights conferred upon the property owner. However, the law of intellectual property is separate and distinct from the law of tangible property. Where the right of exclusive possession is at the core of the bundle of rights protecting real and personal property, land and chattels, the same can not be said of intellectual property.
DEFINITION of 'Intellectual Property'. A broad categorical description for the set of intangibles owned and legally protected by a company from outside use or implementation without consent. Intellectual property can consist of patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks, or simply ideas. The concept of intellectual property relates to the fact that certain products of human intellect should be afforded the same protective rights that apply to physical property. Most developed economies have legal measures in place to protect both forms of property.
