About Us
Empowering IP Ownership
Number Resource Society (NRS) is a global non-profit membership organization that campaigns, empowers and supports businesses to own the fundamental elements of their IP business.
NRS believes that you should own your own IP assets.
IP addresses—the very fundamental elements of your IP business - are not owned by you, or your business. In reality, the ownership and distribution of IP addresses lies in the hands of certain groups of policy specialists across the globe.
