SYSTEM OF THE SLOVENE ENTERPRISE FUND FOR THE PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – Patents, trademarks and designs
The Slovene Enterprise Fund or The Public Fund of the Republic of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship is a specialized financial institution that offers effective financial and substantive incentives to micro, small and medium-sized start-ups and fast-growing companies. The latter is also offered through the so-called intellectual property voucher system for patents, designs and trademarks through a public call for acquisition. The holder of the Gorjup Law Office, lawyer Vesna Gorjup Zupančič, is entered in the register of agents at the Intellectual Property Office for Trademarks and Designs, therefore this office also represents clients in proceedings related to the acquisition, maintenance and other requirements related to designs, trademarks and geographical indications, including through voucher funding. The purpose of such a voucher system is to protect the intellectual property of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises based in the Republic of Slovenia, which as a legal or natural person are engaged in economic activity and are organized as companies, sole proprietors or cooperatives (SMEs) to assist them in doing business either on international markets or only on the market of the Republic of Slovenia, where the competition among the enterprises is strong. The advantage of such a system is mainly reflected in the financial aspect, as the Slovene Enterprise Fund co-finances 60% of eligible costs, which represent the costs of preparation of documentation, application and / or maintenance and / or distribution abroad and related translation costs. In doing so, the incentive represents 5,000.00 EUR without the full test included and 9,999.99 EUR with the full test included. It is generally accepted that good intellectual property management increases the visibility and reputation of companies and gives them an advantage over competitors, and the aforementioned voucher is available precisely to co-finance patenting, trademark and design proceedings.
