intellectual property
The Word Pirates website misuses the term "intellectual property." Intellectual property laws seldom protect bare "ideas," but rather complex, actual creations, such as recipies, formulas, compositions, novels, plays, monographs, blueprints, and designs. These laws don't protect things like the Pythgorean Theorem, "Occam's Razor" or "form follows function."
