A very short book that introduces different forms of intellectual property rights (IPR) for beginners. It first distinguishes between copyright and related rights, and industrial property. It then goes briefly over form by form under any of these two categories.
The book is interesting as it simplifies IPR, while linking the various forms of IPR to your daily life.
