February 2025 – The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has launched the 2025 SME Fund, offering up to 75% savings on, among others, trademark and design application fees, as well as pre-diagnostic IP services.
Since 2021, more than 72,000 businesses have benefited from the fund.
This year with a budget of over EUR 18 million, this initiative will help startups, videogame studios, and other small businesses, regardless of industry, to strengthen their Intellectual Property portfolios.
Applications are open from 3 February to 5 December 2025 — but remember: it is on a first-come, first-served basis!
