Why is Intellectual Property (IP) so important?
IP plays a crucial role in our sectors, driving innovation and maintaining competitive advantage. The development of new technologies, materials, and processes requires significant investment in research and development. Protecting these innovations through patents, trademarks, and copyrights ensures that companies can secure returns on their investments and help to prevent unauthorised use and counterfeiting, safeguarding the integrity and safety of products and services. IP is essential for sustaining growth, encouraging innovation, and maintaining the high standards of safety and performance in the aerospace industry.
