Making intellectual property work for your business

The IP Toolkit helps direct you through useful information about Intellectual Property (IP). It contains information, instructional modules, links and highlighted glossary terms that answer most IP questions asked by businesses and entrepreneurs. Here you can find out what IP is, why it is useful, how it fits as part of a business strategy, how to apply for it and how to use IP effectively.

Intellectual property (IP), very broadly, means the legal rights that result from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields.
