The European IP Helpdesk is the official IP service initiative of the European Commission and offers free of charge, first-line support on IP and IP matters to beneficiaries of EU fund research projects and EU SMEs involved in transnational partnership agreements, especially within the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN).
In addition the European IP Helpdesk offers Webinar training events on different aspects of IP management and IPR based on a practical and comprehensive training approach. Regular publications such as an e-mail Newsletter and the Bulletin will keep you updated on the latest developments in the field of IP and IPR.
However, when it comes to addressing SMEs in the specific European regions, a language barrier still becomes evident. Against this background, the EU IP Helpdesk together with the Enterprise Europe Network has set up a cooperation scheme to foster a strong network of regional IP focal points, i.e. “EU IP Helpdesk Ambassadors”.
The ambassadors are highly experienced members of the Enterprise Europe Network based in Europe with a strong track-record in dealing with IP questions, who will help in promoting the Helpdesk services and providing basic IP training and information directly at your doorstep.
