Your IP: If you create your own original painting and sell it, the buyer owns the physical painting, but you still own the copyright (IP) unless you transfer it. If you buy something like a custom logo and the creator gives you full rights, then it becomes your IP.
Not Your IP: If you buy a movie on DVD, you own the disc, but not the copyright. You can watch it, but you can’t legally copy or sell copies, because the IP belongs to the creators.
Key Point: Buying a product doesn’t automatically give you IP rights—you can resell the item you bought (like a used book), but you can’t copy or reproduce it unless you own the IP or have permission.
