and IP is on it's way out

Please note that in the IETF the letters "IP" first and foremost mean 
"Internet Protocol". To use them for something else is confusing.

To forestall the question, when communicating with the IETF one
shortens "intellectual property" to "IPR."  You can pretend it
abbrieviates "Intellectual Property Rights" or "Intellectual PRoperty."
It replaces both phrases in discourse and writing.
