Both events emphasized the need for IP right protection and just how much they impact businesses, especially entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">With the rise of copyright infringement and the lengthy patent procedures, SME owners and CEO\u2019s described their struggles and the increasing need of IP Rights knowledge among new business owners, entrepreneurs and inventors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of intellectual property rights (IPR) for the EU\u2019s economy is crucial, as the contributions of IPR-intensive industries to the total economic activity, weighs in at 45% and most susceptible to IP theft are the SMEs. Therefore, the European Commission\u2019s legislative agenda which aims to support SMEs through the IP Action Plan and the Next Generation EU recovery package is of vital importance to the future of SMEs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of World Intellectual Property (IP) Day,&nbsp;26 April 2021, AmCham attended two events, one organized by the US Chamber of Commerce, and the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-network-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
