EPO Event: Observatory on Patents and Technology – Boosting Startups with Intellectual Property
The very first event of the European Patent Office’s new Observatory on Patents and Technology will explore how deep tech start-ups can harness the power of intellectual property (IP) rights to drive innovative solutions and attract investment. In the event, a new study (in cooperation with European Union Intellectual Property Office) assessing the use of patents and registered trade marks by European startups, and the impact of those IP rights on the startups’ funding and exit strategies will be presented. The EPO will also introduce to the audience a new digital tool enabling the identification and search of startups based in EPO countries that have been filing European patent applications.
