Intellectual property includes creations of the mind, like inventions, artistic works, and trademarks. Personal property encompasses movable possessions, like vehicles, furniture, and jewelry. These types of property are protected by laws and regulations to ensure individuals have the right to use, possess, and transfer them, and to prevent unauthorized use or infringement.Rate this question:

What is the more common defense to intentional torts?
- A.
Consent
- B.
Privilege
- C.

Correct Answer
A. ConsentExplanation
Consent is the more common defense to intentional torts because it refers to the voluntary agreement of the injured party to the harmful act. In legal terms, if a person consents to a certain action that would otherwise be considered a tort, it can negate the liability of the person causing the harm. This defense is often used in cases involving activities such as sports, medical procedures, or certain types of physical contact where both parties have agreed to the potential risks involved.Rate this question:
