Intellectual property (IP) consists of all the ideas that you or your employees have thought of, which can turn into a product and/or service. IP also means the original ideas that distinguish your products/services/solutions from other people in the same line of industry/business; therefore, making it a corporate/personal asset.
Sahouri Law will not only ensure that your IP is protected, but also help you understand & estimate its monetary value, which would be reflected in the legislative drafting to be used against any IP violation scenario.
