A series of case studies to highlight how some SMEs are effectively leveraging the power of patents to help achieve business success. These 12 case studies have been put together to include a cross section of SMEs from across Europe, encompassing 11 of our member states, and ranging in size and sector. They provide comprehensive accounts of the different ways in which IP is playing an integral role in the development of some enterprises. The examples show how SMEs are using patents as a powerful tool to support their corporate strategy and even, in some cases, as the very foundation on which to build their business.
