💰 On 3 February 2025, a new round of grants under the SME Fund opened, with a total budget of EUR 18 million. If yourun a business, develop new products, or want to ensure that your know-how remains truly yours, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the subsidised legal services IP Scan and IP Scan Enforcement.

📝 IP Scan provides a legal assessment of your intellectual property and recommends a strategy for its protection. You will learn what needs to be registered, how to handle IP agreements, and how to properly set up cooperation with employees or suppliers.

⏰ IP Scan Enforcement focuses on protecting against intellectual property infringements. If you are accused of trademark infringement or plagiarism, or if you suspect someone is misusing your know-how, it's time to evaluate potential claims and take steps to prevent legal disputes.

📒 Both services are a standard part of legal due diligence or pre-litigation analysis. Thanks to EU funding, you can now access them for a fraction of the usual price. Remember: first come, first served, as grants are awarded only until funds run out!
