Get a headstart with IP strategy: a new series for inventors, businesses and micro-entities

The initiative stems from our steadfast commitment to simplifying access to the patent system and all its benefits for the entrepreneurial community. The pilot series will delve into many key topics, such as:
- How owning of IP rights increases the likelihood of attracting funding
- The value of patents, their costs and reduced fees for micro-entities and other organisations
- Local support in your local language
- Leveraging patent databases for research and development, forecasting emerging markets, identifying suppliers, customers and partners as well as research on competitors
- The optimal timing to apply for a patent
- Alternative paths for protecting technology
The new series complements our existing offer for inventors, startups, entrepreneurs, micro-entities and other businesses. These include stands and presentations at events, the “New to patents” section of our website, the learning activities of our Patent Academy and ongoing support for innovation networks such as patent information centres (PATLIB) across Europe and beyond.
