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.

OUR VOICE
The NRS believes in Three Principles
One internet, one world.
A unified Internet with minimal fragmentation, enabling seamless global connectivity.
Open & AutonomousInfrastructure
An Internet that is free, open and accessible without external interference.
