International law, more specifically the TRIPs agreement, does: Art. 2 (2) TRIPs: For the purposes of this Agreement, the term 'intellectual property' refers to all categories of intellectual property that are the subject of Sections 1 through 7 of Part II. http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/trips_e/t_agm2_e.htm I'm not sure if any law has a more precise definition. The term IP is well-enough understood as a term of art for copyrights, patents, trademarks, semiconductor rights, plant breeders' rights and so on.
