In the fast-paced world of start-up businesses, intellectual
property (IP) protection has emerged as one of the key factors that
either make or break a new venture. The existence of a robust IP
strategy has now been recognised as a key indicator of a
business's potential for success.
More importantly, IP has become an increasingly vital element in
an investor's decision-making process. They want to see the
businesses they are interested understand the value of their IP and
understand how to maximise that value.
INVESTORS VALUE IP PROTECTION!
In a recent report released by EUIPO and EPO, it was underscored
that IP rights can greatly influence the business opportunities of
emerging companies. According to the findings, entrepreneurs
equipped with the appropriate IP protection, for example, are ten
times more likely to attract investors.
