Intellectual property is a misnomer.
"Authors and inventors exercise specific rights, and the "property" referred
to in "intellectual property" is the rights, not the intellectual work. A
patent can be bought and sold, but the invention that it covers is not
owned at all. This is one of many reasons that some believe the term
intellectual property to be misleading."
