Intellectual property (IP) is protected in law by patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable individuals to earn acknowledgement or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which originality and innovation can be enhanced.

For present day corporations, intellectual property can be a source of both major revenue and extensive risk. As infringement and counterfeiting cases have become more and more prevalent, companies have seen the potential costs involved in protecting their IP rights rise intensely.
