For fast growing businesses it is a considerable setback to have to enforce IP rights at the stage of infringement. Creative individuals grapple with navigating licensing agreements to safeguard their rights effectively. Privacy regimes across the world and increasing data consumer awareness add another layer of complexity, requiring businesses to draft compliant policies that reflect their data practices transparently for consumers.
