Funding Programs

Finnish companies have access to various funding options to support their intellectual property rights (IPR) activities. Both national and European-level programs offer financial assistance for different stages of the IPR process—from preliminary assessments and filings to broader IP strategy development. These funding sources are particularly valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to strengthen their competitive edge through innovation and brand protection.

Key support mechanisms include grants and vouchers from Business Finland and regional ELY Centres, which can cover services such as patentability assessments, IP strategy consultation, and application costs. At the European level, programs like the EUIPO SME Fund provide partial reimbursements for trademark and design registration fees and offer access to IP advisory services.
