Summary:
A ring $R$ has right SIP (SSP) if the intersection (sum) of two direct summands of $R$ is also a direct summand. We show that the right SIP (SSP) is the Morita invariant property. We also prove that the trivial extension of $R$ by $M$ has SIP if and only if $R$ has SIP and $(1-e)Me=0$ for every idempotent $e$ in $R$. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized upper triangular matrix rings to have SIP.
