ntellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind

for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized—and the corresponding fields of law.[1] While
these rights are not actually property rights, the term "Property" is used because they resemble
property rights in many ways. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted
certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic
works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of
intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade
secrets in some jurisdictions.

Although many of the legal principles governing intellectual property have evolved over centuries,
it was not until the 19th century that the term intellectual property began to be used, and not until
the late 20th century that it became commonplace in the United States.[2] The British Statute of
Anne 1710 and the Statute of Monopolies 1623 are now seen as the origin
of copyright and patent law respectively.[3]

An annual report is a comprehensive report on a company's activities throughout the preceding

year. Annual reports are intended to giveshareholders and other interested people information
about the company's activities and financial performance. Most jurisdictions require companies to
prepare and disclose annual reports, and many require the annual report to be filed at the
company's registry. Companies listed on a stock exchange are also required to report at more
frequent intervals (depending upon the rules of the stock exchange involved).

Typically annual reports will include:

 Chairperson's report
 CEO's report
 Auditor's report on corporate governance
 Mission statement
 Corporate governance statement of compliance
 Statement of directors' responsibilities
 Invitation to the company's AGM

as well as financial statements including:

 Auditor's report on the financial statements

  Balance sheet
 Statement of retained earnings
 Income statement
 Cash flow statement
 Notes to the financial statements
 Accounting policies

Other information deemed relevant to stakeholders may be included, such as a report on

operations for manufacturing firms or corporate social responsibility reports for companies with
environmentally- or socially-sensitive operations. In the case of larger companies, it is usually a
sleek, colorful, high gloss publication.

The details provided in the report are of use to investors to understand the company's financial
position and future direction. The financial statements are usually compiled in compliance
with IFRS and/or the domestic GAAP, as well as domestic legislation (e.g. the SOX in the U.S.).

In the United States, a more-detailed version of the report, called a Form 10-K, is submitted to
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[1]A publicly-held company may also issue a much
more limited version of an annual report, which is known as a "wrap report." A wrap report is a
Form 10-K with an annual report cover wrapped around it.[2]
