A wide range of everyday products that can be protected by various intellectual property rights (IPR) can be repaired or recycled. This includes mainly technical products such as vehicles (cars, planes, trucks, ships), electrical appliances (printers, photocopiers, phones, radios, CD, DVD and MP3 players, irons, ovens, mixers, etc.), buildings, as well as hardware and software. It also sometimes involves ‘purely artistic’ works such as literary, musical, dramatic, audiovisual and artistic works, films and sound recordings, if they have been damaged and need to be restored.
