EU - Webinar: The Importance of IP for SMEs

Intellectual Property helps stimulate innovation and growth, as it helps bring in monetary returns, build brand visibility and ensure organizational growth.

SME’s can rely on IP to boost productivity, earn licensing fees and even get royalties. Patents help create a monopoly and provide protection for the company by preventing others from commercialising their innovation.

IP helps SMEs achieve a higher return on investment and manage their assets efficiently.
