Comptroller
A comptroller (pronounced either the same as ''controller'' or as ) is a management-level position responsible for supervising the quality of accounting and financial reporting of an organization. A financial comptroller is a senior-level executive who acts as the head of accounting, and oversees the preparation of financial reports, such as balance sheets and income statements. In most Commonwealth countries, the comptroller general, auditor general, or comptroller and auditor general is the external auditor of the budget execution of the government and of government-owned companies.

Intellectual property (IP) is a category of property that includes intangible creations of the human intellect.

The term "intellectual property" began to be used in the 19th century, though it was not until the late 20th century that intellectual property became commonplace in the majority of the world's legal systems."property as a common descriptor of the field probably traces to the foundation of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) by the United Nations." in Mark A.

Intellectual Property Institute (United Kingdom)
The Intellectual Property Institute (IPI), or IP Institute, is a British non-profit organization, non-profit making organisation with the mission of promoting "awareness and understanding of intellectual property law". The Institute has a thirty-year history of intellectual property and economics research. The current director of the Institute is Professor Johanna Gibson who was appointed April 2010. In 1982 Hugh Brett wrote that the "primary objective of the Institute will be to provide the facilities for research into the relevance and reform of intellectual property law. It is not possible to meet the needs of industry and the demands of innovation without a proper research centre. West Germany, for example, has the famous Max Planck Institute in Munich, with some 50,000 books, and a budget of over one million pounds per year, largely provided by government. A beginning has to be made……"European Intellectual Property Review [1982] 5 EIPR 129. References External links [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
