During this UFI Connects, the EUIPO – European Union Intellectual Property Office provided an overview of the main benefits of their Ideas Powered for Business Programme for European SMEs (e.g. the SME fund, PRO BONO and easy filing).

This programme aims to empower EU SMEs to protect and enforce their #IPrights and inform them of the benefits of IP for exhibitors, including free IP consultations and up to 2500 euros in funds to register for IP rights.

The EUIPO team shared potential areas of collaboration with the exhibition organizer community.
