Patent Registration
A patent holder has a monopoly right over the patent, it helps in refraining others from making, selling, or using the patented invention for a specific period and helps keep competitors at bay.

Intellectual Property Protcetion Service?
Intellectual property (IP) rights protect genuine business assets that can be vital to your products or services or the success and profitability of your business. There are many advantages to securing your intellectual property rights.
Your intellectual property is a valuable intangible asset that should be protected to enhance your competitive advantage in the marketplace. IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, designs, copyright, and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create.
Our dedicated IP team will take over the administrative burden to ensure your rights are registered, managed, and protected.
IP can generate income for your business through licensing, sale, or commercialization of protected products or services. This can, in turn, improve your market share or raise your profits.
In case of sale, merger, or acquisition, having registered and protected IP assets can raise the value of your business.
Ideas on their own have little value. However, IP can help you to turn ideas into commercially successful products and services.
Licensing your patents or copyright, for example, can lead to a steady stream of royalties and additional income that can boost your business's bottom line.
IP can increase your competitiveness in export markets. You can use brands and designs to market goods and services abroad, seek franchising agreements with overseas companies, or export your patented products.
You can monetize your IP assets through sale, licensing, or using them as collateral for debt financing. As well as this, you can use your IP as an advantage when applying for public or government funding, eg grants, subsidies, or loans.
