SMEs are often the generator of new ideas, know-how and new technologies. This technological know-how is also often a company’s most important asset. Protection of IP is paramount since its loss could have negative consequences on an SME’s business and existence.
Companies can often financially capitalize on their technology either through licensing their technology or transferring ownership. However, in order for a successful transfer to take place, it has to be carefully structured often with the advice and insight of an expert.
