Description

Expanding your business internationally can be challenging and may involve risks, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It may be intimidating to properly address all relevant financial and regulatory aspects linked to such a step, while at the same time reaching out to potential business partners abroad. The purpose of this guide is to provide you with basic facts on Intellectual Property (IP) aspects in international business.  

*This is an updated version of the IP Guide originally developed and published in October 2019.
