IPOs and Intellectual Property: A Crucial Intersection
Introduction to IPOs and Intellectual Property
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are a significant milestone for companies, marking their transition from private to public ownership. Intellectual Property (IP), on the other hand, encompasses the legal rights that protect creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols. The intersection of IPOs and IP is crucial, as a company’s IP portfolio can significantly influence its valuation and attractiveness to investors.
