With a series of technological development, the right or patent owners can use the system to manage and control both intangible and tangible assets by ensuring that they are safe from unauthorized access.
Rising need for DRM solution can be attributed to increasing content marketing and digital broadcasting adopted by various enterprises in views to promote their services and products. To ensure the protection of content, companies use DRM by using restrictive licensing agreements and encryption technology to help in the prevention of copying or printing of files without the permission of the content owners.
