In the frame of the European Union's (EU)  IPeuropAware project, tools were developed for the better exploitation of Intellectual Property (IP) of the SMEs. Those tools were further developed and updated not only under IPorta project in which OBI participated, but also under the current  VIP4SME.

The following tools were implemented by OBI.

• IP Marketplace service of the Danish Patent and Trademark Office if you want to buy or to sell your  Intellectual Property Right (IPR). 
• Sectoral Guides for the Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and their protection from counterfeiting:
  • A Guide for the Furniture Industry
  • A Guide for the Leather Industry
  • A Guide for the Footware Industry
  • A Guide for the Textile and Clothing Industry
