For many SMEs and startups, investing in patents can seem like an expensive step with uncertain returns. But in today’s fast-moving market, patents are much more than just legal assets; they are powerful tools for protecting your technical innovations, attracting investors, and opening doors to valuable partnerships.

For example, recent joint study by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) found that European startups applying for patents and trademarks early on are up to 10 times more likely to secure funding. Patents don’t just safeguard ideas—they fuel growth and boost credibility in the eyes of investors and partners alike.

Despite this, patents are often overlooked due to concerns about costs, lack of awareness, or uncertainty about their value. Yet, by developing a thoughtful patent strategy, innovative businesses can strengthen their market position, protect against competitive risks, and even create new revenue streams.
