However, the increasing reliance on technology has amplified concerns regarding the protection of financial innovations, cyber security frameworks, and digital banking platforms. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) play a crucial role in safeguarding proprietary banking technologies, ensuring exclusivity, and preventing unauthorized replication. This paper explores the significance of IPR in online banking, discussing patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. It also examines the legal frameworks, challenges, and emerging trends in the financial sector. By analyzing the role of IPR, this study highlights the need for robust legal protections to secure banking innovations, promote financial security, and enhance consumer trust in the digital banking ecosystem.
