Focus on: IP support and services to SMEs Ideas that can boost your event’s participation and overall success
OBI and the PRAXI Network organized in 2017 two events jointly with two high-profile local seminars. A VIP4SME workshop was organized together with an EPO-OBI seminar targeted to SMEs and a VIP4SME intermediaries training was organized together with another EPO-OBI seminar targeting intermediaries. Both VIP4SME events were very successful and registrations exceeded more than 50% of the available seats. The companies that participated in the workshop were very satisfied especially with the VIP4SME’s “hands on” exercises.

Focus on: USEFUL WEBSITES SME CASE STUDIES IN www.epo.org The European Patent Office has produced a series of case studies on European small and medium-sized enterprises which are leveraging the power of patents and other IP rights to achieve business success. SMEs from different countries, operating in different industries and technology sectors, were interviewed about their IP strategies and underlying business models. The resulting case studies show how new and established SMEs have developed the IP management capabilities they need, and how they are using IP to their advantage.
The EPO SME case studies demonstrate that European SMEs: • Can create strategic value from patents • Need to know when and how to use patents to support their business • Will benefit from the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court.
They also facilitate the transfer of know-how about IP strategy and IP management by: • Showing concrete business examples • Creating a pool of IP experts and SMEs for dissemination activities.
SME Case Studies are available at the following link: http://www.epo.org/learning-events/materials/sme-case-studies.html
The EPO case studies and/or any of their parts, as well as any modification or translation thereof, may be used for non-commercial teaching and training purposes only.
