What is Intellectual Property?
Managing and protecting your creations
These creations are protected through specific laws such as patents, trade marks and copyrights, which allow owners to obtain broad rights to their works, including licensing, manufacturing, selling, and more. The IP system grants owners limited monopoly rights and fosters a flourishing environment for the general public.
