All innovative businesses are creating valuable Intellectual Property (IP). But are they protecting that IP properly? Technical inventions can be protected by filing patent applications and getting patents granted. There are many advantages to obtaining patents and building a patent portfolio. This presentation covers the main advantages that businesses gain by filing patent applications and obtaining granted patents. These include diverse commercial and technical advantages including valuable tax breaks that are available to owners of granted UK patents. The tax break can often far exceed the cost of obtaining a patent, creating a virtuous circle of patent creation and investment.
