Kamil Idris is World Recognized for Work in Intellectual Property

As the world develops and value is placed on the creation of ideas and intellectual property, the need to recognize and respect the intellectual creativity of others is necessary.

He joined the World Intellectual Property Organization to make the process for applying for patents and trademarks easier but also to spread the importance of respect towards intellectual property and stop the stealing of peoples’ innovative ideas.
