Protection of intellectual property rights may have a decisive impact on the company’s commercial success. It secures the company’s assets and enables assignment of rights to third parties by sale, which generates measurable financial benefits. Well established rules in this area can also allow for merging entities in an efficient manner.
Intellectual property rights may be also licensed through relevant agreements. They allow the original owners of the assets to retain ownership thereof while enabling other companies to benefit from them for a pertinent fee. Intellectual property rights, due to their material nature, may also be subject matter of a pledge or another means of securing liabilities of an enterprise.
