  • Summary

    What does the recognition of IP accidents teach lawyers about the relationship of IP to property and tort?

While IP law is primarily about assigning rights in intangibles and defining their scope, 'intellectual tort' refers to the legal rules that determine when an infringer ought to be held responsible for their infringements.
