Aug22499 10 | Acquisition International, Issue 2 2024 Oct23209 Alkisti–Irene Malamis: Greece’s Leading IP Litigator he term ‘intellectual property’ (IP) refers to an intangible asset that was created with the mind and is therefore a product of human intellect. This may be an invention, design, symbol, or piece of literary or artistic work. The concept also encompasses industrial designs, plant breeders’ rights, and geographical indications. IP can be an extremely valuable asset to a person or a business, whether it serves as a source of income or helps them to make better decisions related to resource consumption. Those who have IP may wish to protect it from being copied by others or prevent it from becoming public knowledge before it’s ready to be launched to market. To do this, they must hire a lawyer who can help draw up the appropriate contracts with any third parties who will have access to the IP in order to work on it or use it.
