Alicante/Munich, February 8, 2021: Shepard Fox to promote joint study by European Union Intellectual Property Office and European Patent Office on benefits of owning intellectual property rights
A new study released by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) shows that companies which own at least one patent, registered design or trade mark generate on average 20% higher revenues per employee than companies which do not own any of those intellectual property rights (IPRs). Moreover, these IPR-owning companies were found to be paying 19% higher wages on average than other companies. – Shepard Fox has been commissioned to communicate the key findings of the study to media in the Netherlands, including the creation of a Dutch press release summarizing the results, distribution to relevant media, arranging interviews with the authors of the study, and media monitoring.
