I am 11 weeks post-op for colon resection surgery. I had 18 inches of my right colon removed due to diverticulitis. Prior to having the surgery, I only had one attack (that I knew of) that resulted in a micro-perforation. On that particular attack, it started out with gassiness and bloat and right-sided pain.

Accordingly, rather than protecting possession, intellectual property law generally protects exclusive rights to use or reproduce the intellectual property. IP laws may also, in some circumstances, protect secrecy. Usually the person who first creates or invents something is the owner of the intellectual property, but often employers contract to own what their employees create on the job. Also, rights to intellectual property can be given away temporarily through a licensing agreement.
