Start-Up & SME Hub
Welcome to our special hub page for start-up companies and small-medium enterprise businesses.
This is a space for people that are building something new and want to know how to protect it, recognising that successful companies don’t just make good intellectual property (IP) decisions – they make them early in the life of a business.
Getting your IP head on from the outset can save a lot pain in the long run and put your business on a stronger footing as it grows.
In our capacity as a patent and trade mark law firm, we work with founders and small business owners across many sectors.
We formalise their inventions in writing and we patent them. We protect their brand names. We register their designs.
This hub brings together some guidance and useful reading, including details of the ‘SH&P Pitch & Protect £10K fund’ and some organisations that you can get involved with for extra support.
