The European Union's new SME Fund to support the protection of industrial property rights for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) began on 22 January 2024.

 

As in previous years, this subsidy scheme, promoted by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), will allow SMEs to partially reimburse expenses. 

 

The overall aim of this European Commission measure, implemented by the EUIPO, is to enable a faster recovery of the European Union's economy and greater resilience on the part of SMEs.

 

The estimated budget for this initiative in 2024 is 20 million euros.

 

Count on the Francisco de Novaes law firm to benefit from this fund!
