The European Commission would like to remind you about our targeted consultation to gather input from stakeholders on the efficiency and effectiveness of the International IP SME Helpdesks in China, South-East Asia, Latin America, and India.
The International IP SME Helpdesk services include helplines, training sessions, online resources, and publications to help businesses develop and strengthen their intellectual property (IP) strategies.
The consultation aims to assess whether these helpdesks are meeting the needs of EU SMEs operating or planning to enter the above international markets. It will also explore potential improvements to better serve these businesses, including feedback on the most suitable geographical locations and organizational structures for the services.
This targeted consultation is now available in 23 EU languages and will run until 11 April 2025.
