The correct option that does not qualify as intellectual property is d) an idea that you came up with. Intellectual property refers to exclusive rights given to individuals or companies for their creations or inventions. It can be categorized into different forms, such as patents for inventions, trademarks for brands, copyrights for artistic or literary works, and trade secrets for confidential information.
In this case, option a) a poem that you write qualifies as intellectual property because it is an original creative work that can be protected by copyright law. Option b) a CD your friend bought that you borrowed does not qualify as intellectual property because you are borrowing someone else's copyrighted work, and you do not have the rights to the CD itself or its content. Option c) a story that you wrote based on a book you read can also be considered intellectual property as long as the story you wrote is substantially different from the original book.
Now, let's discuss option d) an idea that you came up with. While ideas themselves cannot be protected as intellectual property, the expression or implementation of those ideas can be. In other words, it is the concrete manifestation of the idea or the specific way it is implemented that can be protected. For example, if you come up with an idea for a new product, like a smartphone, the idea itself cannot be protected. However, if you design and create a unique smartphone prototype, you can seek patent protection for the invention. So, option d) does not qualify as intellectual property because an idea on its own does not have legal protection, but the tangible expression or implementation of the idea may qualify.
