Morphology
IPR = I + P + R
This is an initialism for a proper name; the letters do not function as English morphemes and do not transparently convey the referent.
Etymology
IPR stands for Institute, Public, Relations, with Institute meaning 'an organization for study', Public meaning 'people', and Relations meaning 'how people or groups communicate'. So IPR is a group that supports research and learning about public relations.
