Kilkenny businesses need guidance on protecting and exploiting intellectual property when trading or innovating within the EU.
About this support
LEO Kilkenny's European IPR Helpdesk page directs SMEs to a broad range of informative material on intellectual property. It explains that the Helpdesk offers personal support on specific IP issues, updates on IP and innovation developments in Europe, training sessions along with a helpline service for direct IP support, and on-site and online training via webinars. The page states its goal is to build IP capacity across the full range of IP practices, from initial awareness through to strategic use and exploitation, targeting EU SMEs and participants in EU-funded projects. The Kilkenny page embeds a short video and provides a link through to the European IPR Helpdesk website and its contact details, rather than delivering the service itself locally.
