What is Intellectual Property (IP)?
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the legal rights granted to individuals or organizations over their creations and innovations. These rights empower creators to protect and commercialize their ideas—whether inventions, designs, artistic works, or branding elements—by preventing unauthorized use and infringement.
Why Apply for IP Protection?
• Safeguard Business Value: Secure your competitive edge by protecting the core assets of your business.
• Prevent Copycats: Stop others from imitating your innovations, designs, or brand identity.
• Access Government Funding: Many innovation-related grants and subsidies require or encourage IP ownership.
• Enhance Market Credibility: Registered IP demonstrates professionalism and strengthens client and investor confidence.
• Unlock Licensing Opportunities: Monetize your creations through licensing and partnerships.
