Intellectual property (IP) management plays a crucial role in strengthening the competitiveness and growth potential of companies across Europe. Yet, for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), addressing IP-related matters remains a challenge due to limited time, resources, or expertise.
To help bridge this gap, the European IP Helpdesk has released a new IP Guide titled “Your Guide to IP in Europe.” The guide offers practical answers and guidance on some of the most common IP issues faced by SMEs and innovators.
Developed from the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) submitted by users through the European IP Helpdesk Helpline, the Guide compiles expert insights and practical examples to help SMEs better understand how to protect, manage, and leverage their intellectual assets.
Each section of the guide also includes a list of reference documents and resources for readers seeking more detailed information on specific IP topics.
