SME PATENT PACK
If you run a UK business, large or small, and you create your own new products or processes, you could boost your profits by patenting your developments.
According to research by the European Patent Office, companies that own patents have 36% higher revenue per employee than those that don’t.
You don’t need to be developing the next blockbuster pharmaceutical or self-driving car to get a patent; there have been many patents granted for technology as simple as a paper clip.
And while you don’t have to use a patent attorney to file a patent application, research shows that only 4% of UK patent applications that are filed without a patent attorney ever get granted.
