Abstract
Intellectual property means the creation of mind. Creations of mind include names, symbols, inventions, images, artistic and literary works. There are two forms of intellectual property. First form is called industrial property and second form is called copyright. The concept of industrial property covers trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications and patents for inventions. The concept of copyright covers artistic works and literary works. The artistic works include sculptures, paintings, architectural design, photographs and drawings. The literary works include music, films, plays, novels and poems. If the creations of mind are protected in a society, whether or not this thing brings prosperity to that society and whether its economic benefits are innumerable. Finding the answer to this question is the main purpose of this research. In the context of any country’s economy, it is impossible to deny the importance of this topic. The study is based on descriptive research and draws the conclusion that a strong linkage exists between intellectual property and economic growth.
