Intellectual property law practice is a complex area dealing with many aspects of corporate and commercial processes. Close attention must be paid to protecting the intellectual property rights of businesses. This is especially so as in the global economy, intellectual property is a corporation’s most valuable asset and lies at the very core of every product or service brought to the market.
