4 Reasons to Patent: New Interactive Guide for European SMEs

Helping European SMEs to unlock the value of their patents: The new guide "4 Reasons to Patent" is a practical interactive web guide that aims to help innovative European businesses draw economic and strategic value from their patents. The guide identifies four key benefits to patenting - market access, negotiating, funding and strategic value - and breaks these down into methods for value-creation with clickable case study links, quotes and facts.

This interactive tool will evolve with time to remain a long-term SME resource and has been developed by 4IPCouncil in collaboration with different IP stakeholders including the European IP Helpdesk / Eurice.

The guide is available here.
