Intellectual Property Office

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is a government agency responsible for registering and protecting creations of the mind, such as inventions, trademarks, designs, and artistic works. Its role is to ensure creators can secure exclusive rights for their innovations, helping prevent unauthorized use and encouraging innovation and economic growth. The IPO also provides advice and support to individuals and businesses on how to protect their intellectual property rights, manage licensing, and enforce these rights legally. Essentially, it acts as the official body that recognizes and safeguards the rights associated with intellectual assets.
