Encourages Innovation: IP protections incentivize researchers and companies to develop new technologies and methods by ensuring they can benefit financially from their inventions. Protects Investments: Developing new histological techniques and tools often requires significant investment. IP rights help protect these investments by preventing others from copying and profiting from the innovation without permission. Facilitates Collaboration: Clear IP protections can facilitate collaborations between academic institutions, hospitals, and commercial entities by defining ownership and usage rights.
