The Importance of IP for SMEs
Benefits of IP
This EU webinar is offered by the European IP Helpdesk.

Intellectual property (IP) helps stimulate innovation and growth, as it helps bring in monetary returns, build brand visibility and ensure organizational growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) 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.
