IP Units Establishment

From searches and filing to portfolio management, our trademark services protect and enforce your business’s identity.

We assist organizations in establishing dedicated Intellectual Property (IP) units that are tailored to their structure, goals, and industry.
  An IP unit serves as a centralized body to manage innovation, oversee protection and registration of rights, monitor compliance, and develop strategies for commercialization and enforcement. This service is particularly valuable for universities, research institutions, technology companies, and large corporations with significant R&D activities, where systematic IP management is essential to maximize value and minimize risks. Our team provides end-to-end support — from designing the framework and governance structure to training staff — ensuring that the IP unit becomes a driver of innovation and sustainable growth.
