Manage copyrights, patents, and trademarks

Trigger: An innovator within the organization discloses a new intellectual property asset, or a scheduled calendar event dictates maintenance for an existing registration.

1. Identify and document new intellectual property assets
2. Prepare and submit applications for patents, copyrights, or trademarks
3. Pay maintenance fees and manage renewal schedules
4. Monitor external markets for unauthorized use or infringement
5. Enforce legal rights and resolve intellectual property disputes
6. Administer licensing agreements and collect royalties

Outcome: Intellectual property rights are legally secured, maintained, actively monitored for infringement, and monetized through appropriate channels.
