We inform you that, according to the EUIPO, the SME Fund for 2025, upon the reopening of Voucher 3 (for Patents), received a very large number of applications, which indicates that SMEs were ready to submit a funding request immediately after its relaunch (on June 2, 2025), depleting 74% of the available budget for this voucher.
The remaining available budget for Voucher 3 and the estimate for further commitments in the coming days leads once again to the temporary closure of application reception for this voucher, as of today, Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at the end of the working day.
Voucher 3, provided there are unused amounts from vouchers that are not used within the time frame allocated, will reopen later in the year, and until the available budget is exhausted.
The Fund’s platform will continue to accept applications for Vouchers 1 (IP Scan – not available for Greece), 2 (Trademarks and Industrial Designs), and 4 (Plant Varieties).
