How do copyrights apply to intellectual property?

Copyrights apply to intellectual property by protecting the exclusive rights of creators and owners of original works from being used, copied, or distributed by others without their permission. Intellectual property comprises works such as literary, artistic, musical, or scientific creations, and copyright law gives its holders the legal right to control the reproduction, distribution, and display of their works. The duration of a copyright varies depending on the type of work and its jurisdiction, but its purpose remains the same: to protect the inherent value of creative works and encourage their continued production.
