Intellectual property is a result of creative intellectual work. It is a reflection of humans personality and individuality. Creative and research activities form an important part of intellectual activities. By means of active participation in research and creative work people can express themselves, their individuality and desires. Intellectual property rights have relatively amorphous character. The problem is that many people do not regard them as monopoly and this causes copyright and patent infringement and unauthorized use of exclusive rights. The aim of the paper is to examine the psychological aspects of creating and protecting of intellectual property. The primary method of research is the panel survey of researchers and creators. By means of panel survey different forms of motivation for intellectual property protection were revealed.
