If God Does Not Enforce "Intellectual Property" Then Why Should We?

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.

Types of intellectual property

Copyright

Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works. Works covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps and technical drawings.

Question to the Reader: How much should the creator charge for its (I said its instead or he/she because God does not have a sex) creation? Why is the creator not charging every human being he created in the first place for all of their "accomplishments" since humans are using God's inputs to create everything covered under "Copyright" described above?

Industrial designs

An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. A design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color.

Question to the Reader: How much should the creator charge for its design/ creation, that is, for a sunset, a rainbow, the stars, the ocean, the moon, the sun, a mountain, a glazier etc.? How much should God charge for the air we all breath?

Patents

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. Generally speaking, a patent provides the patent owner with the right to decide how - or whether - the invention can be used by others. In exchange for this right, the patent owner makes technical information about the invention publicly available in the published patent document.

Question to the Reader: How much should the creator charge for its invention, that is, for the universe, the planet, the ocean, the galaxy, plants, fruits, animals, including us? Why doesn't God enforce who or how its creations/inventions can be used by others? More importantly, in your opinion what do you think is God's exclusive rights granted to humans beings?

Geographical indications

Geographical indications and appellations of origin are signs used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin. Most commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of the goods.

Question to the Reader: Why did the creator never include the name of the place of origin of the goods it created in the entire planet? 

Trademarks

A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. Trademarks date back to ancient times when craftsmen used to put their signature or "mark" on their products.

Question to the Reader: What is the trademark of a real human being?

Last but not least, if the air that we all breathe to live was given to us for free, therefore life is a gift and an opportunity to celebrate. If, however, you think that being alive is not an opportunity to celebrate and/or that life is not a miracle, please contact me and I will tell you that the most precious thing you have in life is already dancing within you and all you have to do is to rediscover it if you know where to look.
