In today's electronic world, an organization's intellectual property is sometimes its biggest asset. Much time and money can be saved, and frustration and litigation avoided if company policy dictates ownership and use of intellectual property. An organization that owns IP knows and understands the value of its various services, like, provision of goods and services to the customers, either utilizing it internally or sharing it externally. A recent rise of public offering, litigations, high-profile mergers and acquisition has pushed IP to be in an increasingly critical position in global economics. Hence, the changes in the global economic environment have led to the development of business models, IP being the central element establishing value and potential growth. As a result, the protection of IP of an organization has become one of the key elements towards its success.

IP as an asset is categorized as copyright, trademarks, patents and trade secrets. Hence, each distinctive type is important in its own way. Any industry or business, whether traditional or modern, regardless of what product or service it produces or provides,  is  likely  to  regularly use intellectual property to prevent others from encroaching on its due reward  or  taking  advantage  of  its goodwill  in  the  market  place. For this they require professional help that can assist them with identifying, protecting, and managing its intellectual property assets.
