IDEAS MATTER

Ideas Matter is an organization established in 2012 dedicated to belief in the power of ideas and the rights that protect them. It's members and affiliates include innovative businesses of all types and sizes, inventors, content industry creators, individuals, educators, schools and organizations... Ideas Matter is a consortium of cross-sector enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses and trade associations that aims to expand awareness and promote the benefits of intellectual property (IP). We firmly believe that ideas are important to the economy, important to society, important to companies both large and small... Despite their importance, intellectual property rights- patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights-remain complex and often misunderstood tools. Ideas Matter provides information about local and international IP developments and trends that help to illustrate the role of IP rights, their impact and how they work.
