The IP Scan service is now available in Poland!

The IP Scan service is now available in Poland!

The Intellectual Property (IP) pre-scan service is a part of a programme called the SME Fund, created to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) gain access to intellectual property protection and strengthen their business. The support is granted by the EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office.
The Polish Patent Office - Urząd Patentowy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (UPRP) cooperates with the EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office in implementing and coordinating the IP Scan service in Poland.

IP Scan is a professional consultancy in the area of intellectual property. The co-financing for Polish SMEs amounts to 90% (!) of the net costs (up to a maximum of EUR 630).
It is worth taking advantage of such a funding !

A full list of IP Scan Contractors in Poland is available on the website of the Polish Patent Office here.
Note that your company can only receive financial support for an IP Scan service if it is provided by a Contractor from the list above.

As many as 6 attorneys from Polservice have completed a two-stage training course and obtained certificates authorising them to provide this service.
You can contact with Paweł Wac, Sławomir Mazur, Anna Skup, Maria Łozińska, Marta Kawczyńska and Karolina Stępień-Porowska.

We will represent you professionally on your way to obtaining this valuable support.
We invite you to cooperation!
