  • Abstract

    Intellectual property should be a daily business choice since it is so valuable, yet more and more institutions still don't understand how ‎important it is. People don't always fully understand Intellectual Property and how valuable it is. In today's economy, which is becoming more ‎and more knowledge-based, IP is an important factor in everyday business decisions. This is because new ideas and products come out ‎virtually every day, which leads to ongoing research and innovation. So, this article will talk about how important IP is for universities of ‎technology. It will also show how IP can be used as an economic tool and the problems these universities have when they try to set up an IP ‎system.
