Invest NI’s Intellectual Property Programme
If you develop a new product, service, brand or process, it makes sense to protect your intellectual property (IP). We can give you advice on patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights and technical standards including EN standards.

Our support includes carrying out an IP audit to establish what elements of your business may need IP protection. We can then advise on the appropriate IP protection and recommend how to acquire this.

We also offer a series of workshops at which you can learn about best practice and strategy in this important area.
