Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind such as inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. Intellectual property prosecution describes the interaction between applicants and their representatives, and a patent office with regard to a patent, or an application for a patent. Although many of the legal principles governing intellectual property have evolved over centuries, it was not until the 19th century that the term intellectual property began to be used, and not until the late 20th century that it became commonplace in the United States.

Intellectual property is divided into two categories. Industrial property includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source. Copyright includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs. Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs.

Intellectual property is distinctly different from patent litigation, which describes legal action relating to the infringement of patents.
