Celebrating World IP Day:
SME’s, the unsung heroes of our world economy
99{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of all firms in Germany are SMEs who account for more than 50{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of Germanys economic output and almost 60{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of all jobs.
Worldwide SMEs are the backbone of our world economy, they make up 90{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of all companies in the world, employ 70{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of workers globally and make up half of the world’s economy.
But there is a lack of knowledge about how IP can help translate ideas into products and services, and how IP can be a powerful tool for SMEs to compete and grow and be successful.
SMEs in Europe that own IP rights like trademarks, designs and patents have close to 70{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} more revenue per employee than those that haven’t yet used IP. But only 9{1c502c4e1e1b7ff5687e142ea847928a3a0330004eb49fa220ca63e79f6a7746} of SMEs in Europe have actually registered their IP rights.
