    Following the success of the SME Fund of the previous 3 years, we are delighted to launch the new SME Fund for 2024!

    Through this webinar you will:

    • learn of the benefits of the SME Fund for your small or medium-sized business; 
    • learn about the support available for safeguarding your intellectual property rights (IPRs) through vouchers;
    • discover how to apply and claim partial reimbursement for trade marks, designs, patents, and plant varieties, as well as for IP Scan and IP Scan Enforcement.

    This webinar is tailored for small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in the EU or the Ukraine who are keen to protect their IPRs. It is also available to their representatives. SMEs that applied in previous years are eligible to apply again this year.

    The Ideas Powered for business SME Fund is an initiative by the European Commission implemented through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

    You will find more information on the SME Fund here: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/online-services/sme-fund.
