Intellectual & Industrial Property Law & Practice

Intellectual & Industrial Property Law & Practice

International trade, trans-border economic activity and a surge in the spread of information technology have taken the global village phenomenon into hitherto uncharted territories. In this era of the giant leaps made in technology and its advance, the fact remains this trend is bound to increase.

The challenge is, and will continue to be, both in the immediate and near future maintaining a balance between the right to economic activity and the protection of intellectual property.
