They create new technologies and make significant improvements to existing ones. They also develop, manufacture, and market products that embody these new and improved technologies, and in so doing give rise to well-paying jobs. For these reasons, SMEs are a crucial pillar of economies across the globe. These businesses currently account for around 90 percent of the world’s businesses and employ around 70 percent of the global workforce, according to the 2020 ILO SCORE Programme survey.
The central importance of SMEs to national economies is clear; the big question is how to help ensure their success. In this regard, building awareness among small businesses about how to protect and manage their intellectual property (IP) assets is a crucial first step. | | Del av verk: | WIPO Magazine 2/2021 |
