Intellectual property is truly the currency of the global economy. Over 80% of a Fortune 500 company’s valuation is based on its intangible assets.
Your survival depends on the protection of intellectual property rights, and it is a HARD job. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights can be filed and maintained in 141 countries. Huge stakes rest on the accuracy and consistency of data management to ensure timely filings, compliance with IP rules and regulations, and payment of maintenance fees and annuities.
