Most coutries have an Intellectual property law which deters from illegal copying. Patents and copyrights are the main legal instruments for protecting the intellectual property.
Patens are used to protect the new discoveries or scientific process. It is important to mention all the parts of the process or invention in the patent. Literature, artistic works, computer programs, movies and radio and television broadcasts are protected by copyright and usually for starting to protect it is needed just to mark the work with international copyright symbol. Companies use trademarks to deter others from copying their products.
It is important to respect others work because huge fines and inprisonment is seen as a result of infringing copyright.
