What are IP Assets?

As such, IP assets are legally protected and can be legally enforced. These can be independently identified, are transferable and have an economic life (in contrast to their legal life, which is generally longer than their economic life). IP assets include patents, industrial designs, trademarks, copyright and trade secrets. (WIPO)
