IPR Protection

The safeguarding of intellectual property rights (IPR) is of paramount importance for companies that depend on innovation and creativity to thrive in a competitive business environment. By securing their intellectual assets, companies can forestall their rivals’ exploitation or use of their inventions, designs, and brands. They can also capitalize on their intellectual property by licensing or selling it, thereby generating additional revenue streams.
