The IPA4SME Call aims to facilitate and promote the use of Intellectual Property (IP) among SMEs which have either received a Seal of Excellence from the H2020 SME Instrument program (or EIC Accelerator) or:
• Have been identified as an innovative SME by the implementing partner from one of the countries participating in the support Service 1 (IP pre-diagnostic);
• or have been identified as an innovative SME by the IP pre-diagnostic Service (or equivalent) from any EU Member State or COSME Member State.
Providing them with access to:
• Relevant information about their existing technological and knowledge assets along with a tailor-made IP business strategy so a secure and efficient exploitation of those assets can be implemented, ensuring at the same time an increase in the company’s overall performance.
• Co-financing that will partly cover the costs associated with the advice of IP attorneys and the filling of patent applications.
