INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

        Media & Entertainment

   
Intellectual property has always been about the ownership, value and use of creative ideas--be they embedded in media, print, music, processes or images.  Today, however, the Internet has added a new dimension to intellectual property issues that is both complex and full of potential.  This is particularly true in the media and entertainment fields, although even in non-media firms, just having a website has IP implications.
