<br/><br/> In today’s knowledge economy, intangible assets are valued more than tangible ones (Dué, 1995). Intellectual property (IP) rights are an umbrella used to legally protect the intangible products of the human mind, for example, inventions and artistic works. A laboratory notebook is the birthplace of inventions. It helps to understand the progress path of an experiment, avoids dead ends and repetition of errors, serves as a guide for future research direction and helps to generate IPs and technology transfer. Despite the fact that every researcher is aware of the concept of keeping a laboratory notebook, the true potential and legal implications of doing so are typically unknown.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/02560909241234239<br/>
