Contrary to the real estate business, where the system favors
the concentration of wealth in only by just a few economic agents,
intellectual property has the virtue of being more democratic. With
an insatiable, curious, irreverent and inspired intelligence,
anyone may can create wealth. The power of the mind is huge
enormous.
Of course, one can argue that this is a romantic idea of
intellectual property rights which is still true. Huge sums of
money invested in research and development and a length,
time-consuming process is behind every new drug or brand.
Nonetheless, our principle contention remains: It is possible for
an individual with little financial resources to create something
that might change the world or can become trendy. All
one needs to do is to think up with some new and creative concept
or product and, if possible, to protect that idea by using
intellectual property rights registration.
