Abstract:
“Harnessing The Value Of Your Intellectual Properties” presented by Mr. Keoy Soo Earn
Intellectual property (“IP”) is increasingly recognised as a key value driver for business growth and the creation of wealth across every industry. Intellectual properties, like any other revenue-generating assets can provide opportunities for commercial exploitation. This can range from franchising or licensing arrangements for brand names, patents and industrial know-how to gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace with specialised trade secrets. It is therefore important for companies to leverage on their IP rights to strengthen their business models to facilitate the expansion of their business operations.
