Benefits of Intellectual Property Rights
Enhances Market Value
IPR allows businesses to generate revenue through licensing, sales, and commercialisation of protected products and services. This protection boosts market share and profitability.
Convert Ideas into Profitable Assets
Ideas have limited value before registration. IPR enables the transformation of these ideas into commercially successful products and services. Licensing patents and copyrights can create a steady stream of royalties and other income.
Market Your Products and Services
IPR helps build and enhance your business's reputation in the market. It distinguishes your products and services from competitors, aiding in brand recognition and customer trust.
Access or Raise Capital
IPR can be monetised through sales, licensing, or as collateral for debt financing. It also provides an advantage when applying for government funding, such as grants, subsidies, and loans.
