Innovation thrives at the intersection of creativity, research, and entrepreneurship—but turning big ideas into real-world impact requires more than inspiration. Protecting and managing intellectual property (IP) is a critical step in bringing innovations to life, and understanding how to navigate the IP landscape can make the difference between missed opportunities and lasting success.
