“There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.”

– Victor Hugo, writer

The financial aspect

Besides going through the application procedure of your intellectual property rights, it is also interesting to know what the total cost will look like. Companies that invest in intellectual property may be eligible for a number of support measures provided by the Belgian government. The use of these subsidies can potentially reduce costs, giving you more freedom in your choices during an application. The fees we quote here are indicative only.
