Intellectual property is a foundation of what we are trying to understand. Richest women in the world is jk rowling of harry potter author, she used to get abused and left her husband. She moved back to england and wrote harry potter, 5 companies refused her. She became a success and husband came back and claimed he had a copywrite on the ideas. Courts had to settle and the court decided that she was the writer of it even though he talked about the book with her. Contracts related to intellectual property are made to protect an entity.
