Intellectual Property Support
Now more than ever, agri-tech companies are innovating to provide technical solutions to the problem of feeding the world’s growing population. To protect your investment in those innovations, and to maximise the return on that investment, it is essential to factor intellectual property (IP) into your business plan. In particular, you would be well-advised to ensure that you identify and protect your IP, and also to ensure that you do not encounter conflicts with third-party IP.
Agri-Tech Innovation Support
We are working with Leyton, the UK’s leading specialist innovation funding consultancy, who are delighted to offer their expertise in government tax incentives to our network.
