Essay / Research Paper Abstract
19 pages in length. China, like virtually all other global communities today, is working hard to deter an ever-growing technological fiend: the appropriation of intellectual property (IP). At issue is fortifying the protection of people's "creativity and innovation in the same way that they can own physical property" (The UK Patent Office, no date), a concept that while easily understood is much more difficult to enforce. From video to CDs to computer software, China has the dubious honor of being an "especially big violator" (Huang, no date) of such copyrights, causing significant friction between national commerce and foreign investors. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

original works. The technological revolution has brought with it a great deal of beneficial advancements for mankind; one of the most important developments of all has been that of
the computer. In more recent times, the computer has moved from the restriction of industry well into the mainstream of scientific society, residing at the apex of the hotly
debated topics of IPR, counterfeiting and copyright. The antagonistic issue of ownership is one that transcends virtually all boundaries of what might otherwise
be considered a civilized society. From ancient Rome to contemporary times, the fight for lawful claim upon a certain entity has always been ensnared within the confines of mans
