Scott, I think you meant to say that intellectual property is NOT an ancient principal :) Anyways, nowadays people believe that if they don't copyright their works they will miss out on royalties.

However, in the information age, with so much free flow of information it is impossible to charge each and every person for every piece of intellectual property exchanged.

Now and in the upcoming years more value will be placed on trademarks rather than intellecutal property. In the information age if something is trademarked it is guaranteed a higher quality of protection because it is obvious that it belongs to a certain company or person. Trademarks also go to help companies get more recognition for their products and services because they can be easily understood and remembered.
