What is the IP Strategy Diagnostic?
The IP Strategy Diagnostic, implemented by Bpifrance, is designed to assist innovative Start-ups, SMEs, and mid-sized companies. It provides financial aid covering 80% of consulting costs, up to a maximum of €10,000 excluding VAT. This initiative aims to develop a suitable intellectual property (IP) strategy, enabling the valuation of your intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, designs, software, and data.
