Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights

Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) involves taking legal actions to protect creations like inventions, trademarks, or artistic works from unauthorized use or copying. When someone infringes on these rights, the rights holder can seek remedies such as lawsuits, injunctions to stop the infringement, or damages to compensate for losses. This process helps ensure creators can benefit from their innovations and creativity, encouraging ongoing innovation and maintaining fair competition. Effective enforcement requires a combination of legal systems, regulations, and sometimes international cooperation to uphold rights across borders.
