Abstract
The concept of intellectual property, or ideas protected by patents, copyrights, and trademarks, has been around since at least the 13th century. However, it is only in the last decade that "piracy," or the illegal copying and selling of copywritten or patented material, has become a contentious issue in trade negotiations between the nations of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
