Literary property refers to the legal rights associated with creative works such as books, articles, poems, and other written works. These rights typically include copyright protection, which grants authors exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and adapt their literary creations. Literary property rights allow authors to control the use of their works and to receive compensation for their creative endeavours. Additionally, literary property may encompass moral rights, which protect the integrity and attribution of an author’s work. Authors can enforce their literary property rights through legal mechanisms such as copyright registration, licensing agreements, and litigation against infringement.
