Wikipedia:WikiProject Intellectual property

Welcome to the Intellectual Property WikiProject!

This project covers articles about intellectual property, meaning mainly topics relating to copyright, trademark, and patent law. Intellectual property also includes trade secrets, and a newer concept called the right of publicity. Articles in scope of this project are likely to intersect with privacy law, cyberlaw, technology law, and business history.

Goals:
 * Improve Wikipedia's coverage of intellectual property.
 * Create guidelines for articles about intellectual property.

The scope of the project is not limited to statute- or case law-based topics — it also encompasses the cultural and policy issues related to intellectual property law.
