  2. Obtaining IP protection: This involves obtaining IP protection in countries where the company has business interests or where its IP assets are at risk of infringement. This may involve filing for patents, trademarks, and copyrights, or entering into licensing agreements with local partners.

  3. Enforcing IP rights: This involves taking legal action to enforce the company’s IP rights if they are infringed upon in other countries. This may involve litigating in local courts or through international treaties and agreements.

  4. Collaborating with partners: This may involve working with local partners or other companies to license or jointly develop IP, or seeking IP protection in countries where the company does not have a presence.
