From Ideas to Income: IP Commercialisation and Optimising R&D Tax Credits

Commonly, patent protection is perceived to lack benefits at the early stages of a product lifecycle. At the same time, there’s a significant lack of awareness about the Patent Box Relief Scheme. The average Patent Box claim is actually larger than the average R&D claim.

At this event, you will understand how to utilise Patent Box and R&D claims effectively.
