It is an excellent opportunity to secure your brand or product at significantly lower cost.
What does the SME Fund offer?
The programme provides:
- reimbursement of up to 75% of official fees for filing trademarks and industrial designs in Poland and at European Union level,
- reimbursement of 50% of official fees for filing marks and designs with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
The total grant can reach EUR 700.
What does the procedure look like?
The procedure is straightforward, but the order of the steps is critical:
- Obtaining the decision granting the funding
- Filing the trademark or industrial design application
- Paying the official fees
- Submitting the reimbursement request
Funds are transferred directly to the company account.
