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!

Bartosz Krakowiak attended the Bilateral Meeting between EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office and ECTA at the EUIPO Headquarters in Alicante.

The meeting aimed to improve the intellectual property landscape in the EU and deepen constructive dialogue.

Various important topics concerning intellectual property in Europe were addressed.

Recognised individuals discussed important topics such as:

• New competencies and responsibilities of the EUIPO;
• SME programme updates;
• Latest development on the agri and non-agri GIs reforms;
• Various abuses of the IP system, such as abuse of the EUIPO User Area credentials;
• Key recent case law and a number of other practical IP topics.

Also procedural matters were discussed such as representation before the Office.

We are full of praise for the successful cooperation and look forward to further results.

Trembling in anticipation of a next year’s meeting.
