From patent protection to funding growth

Most businesses view patents as defensive tools to protect innovation and deter competitors, however, they can also be used to unlock significant tax savings and funding.

Most UK companies with IP rich products are still paying the full 25% Corporation Tax rate on profits that could potentially qualify for an effective 10% rate under the UK Patent Box regime. This would save around 15p in tax for every £1 of qualifying profit.

At the same time, EU schemes such as the EIC Accelerator can provide up to €2.5m in non dilutive grant funding to help bring deep tech innovations to market.

Join our upcoming webinar, in partnership with Innovation Funding Specialists ABGi, to find out how to create additional value from your innovation activity.
