REDIRECT intellectual property In law, intellectual property (IP) is an umbrella term for various legal entitlements which attach to certain types of information, ideas, or other intangibles in their expressed form. ...
I think this redirect is unfortunate. In Europe, Industrial Property is a valid and used term for a set of exclusion rights such as patents, trade marks, topology protection etc, see e.g. http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/indprop/.
The Swedish equivalent to the superset Intellectual Property is Immaterial Property (immaterialrätt), while Intellectual Property is more likely to be (mis)understood as copyright only.
A wikipedia article should IMHO reflect the origin and development of the concept, rather than state "what it is".
