About
For most companies, intangible assets represent more than 50% of the company's value. They can be as important for economic growth as traditional capital, goods, and services.
In a global competitive environment, these assets enable the company to endure, stand out from competitors, and adapt to market needs. Furthermore, studies show that companies actively managing their intellectual property as a financial asset can increase their performance by up to 30%.
Despite this, the majority of SMEs do not feel concerned with intellectual property.
However, it "only" requires setting up a strategy for managing these assets that aligns with the company's overall strategy, using tools such as the information contained in patents, consortium agreements, trade secrets, intellectual property rights, and a range of experts to gain benefits.
