Global IP Matrix - Issue 7

Dear readers,
We sincerely hope that you are all in good
health and keeping in good spirits during these
undeniably uncertain times. We have all had
to adapt to working out of our comfort zones,
which I am sure has been very challenging at
times for you all as it has been for us.
However, we continue our quest to look to the
future and deliver exclusive content to you,
direct from thought leaders working at ground
level in the IP industry from all over the world.
Issue 7 of The Global IP Matrix magazine is
packed with informative and exciting articles
to keep you up to date and educated in what
has been developing in the global IP industry
during the past few months and into the future.
We hope you enjoy reading our publication.
We want to thank all our contributors for
sharing their knowledge, opinions, and
expertise in this new edition of the Global IP
Matrix magazine.
From all of us at
