Patent Valuation

This is one of the most difficult issues in the case of protecting intellectual property: what will be the value of a special patent? In 2008, the Patent Office took a major step in the direction of patent valuation for Austrian SMEs: With IPscore, a software developed by the Danish Patent Office in cooperation with economic experts and developed further by the European Patent Office, SMEs can now be supported in their innovation management.

If you wish to know whether it is worth investing in an invention, we assist you with your questions in relation to the use of the IPscore programme. Based on a catalogue of questions by IPscore to be answered by you, the opportunities and risks of an innovation or strengths and weaknesses of a technology are determined.

We wish to support you as an Austrian SME and create the foundations for innovation-related decisions as well as the next steps together with you. For this purpose, we will demonstrate the IPscore software to you and give you our recommendations as the service point of the Austrian Patent Office.
