The European IPR Helpdesk is extending its service offer through a new local representation in Brussels. For the first time, the IP advisors of the Helpline will be available on-site on fixed dates (one peer month). They will provide free-of-charge first-line support and information on IP issues. Additionally, the Helpdesk team is planning to increase the number of on-site networking and training events in Brussels.
The first on-site IP Helpline hours in the Brussels office will take place on Thursday, 30 June 2016.
The European IPR Helpdesk is a project funded by the European Commission under the H2020 programme. It supports cross-border SME and research activities to manage, diffuse and valorize technologies and other Intellectual Property (IP) Rights and IP assets at an EU level. Offering a broad range of informative material, a Helpline service for direct IP support and on-site and online training, the European IPR Helpdesk's main goal is to support IP capacity building along the full scale of IP practices: from awareness to strategic use and successful exploitation. This IP competencies empowerment focuses on EU SMEs, participants and candidates in EU funded projects.
