Boosting start-ups with intellectual property
The European Patent Office (EPO) Observatory on Patents and Technology warmly invites you to its inaugural event on innovation, Intellectual Property rights (IP rights) and start-ups.
Through a series of presentations, panel discussions and case studies, our panel of speakers will help start-up founders and professionals, investors, IP experts, public institutions and researchers to understand the relationship between innovation, IP, funding and growth.
The event will explore how start-ups harness the power of IP rights to drive innovative solutions and attract investment. To shed light on this topic, the results of a new study will be presented highlighting the significant importance of IP rights portfolios for start-ups and their investors. Attendees will also gain new insights about the opportunities that the Unitary Patent brings to start-ups, unlocking further potential for growth and expansion.

Participants will be able to discover the EPO’s new interactive on-line tool, which will enable current and prospective investors and business partners to find start-ups that own European patents.

This event is intended for start-ups, investors and venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, incubators, accelerators, IP and business advisors, technology transfer offices in universities and research institutes, trade associations, government representatives, policy makers, industry associations, and innovation and IP enthusiasts.
