The question

You see "them" always and everywhere. You use "them" on a daily basis. You create "it" without even realizing. Or you buy a plant or chair which has "it". In brief you are continually coming into contact with it.

The answer:

Intellectual property

Trademarks (always and everywhere), patents (all inventions), copyright (photos, texts or drawings), designs (the chair) and plant breeders' rights (plants); you can no longer get round them. The world is blossoming with intellectual property rights (IP rights) - ideas of the human brain that the deviser/maker is exclusively entitled to.
