Dear Sir or Madam,
You have received an invitation for this online survey carried out by Technopolis Group on behalf of the European Commission, DG Enterprise & Industry.
We contacted you either because you have used an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) support service provided by your National Patent Office. Alternatively, you may not have used such an IPR service, but you are part of a group of firms that could potentially benefit from such services.
In either case, your contribution to this project is highly important for future EU policy making on IP support measures. This study serves as part of the evidence base to align policy making with your needs as a company. Thank you very much for participating in this survey.
Please be ensured that all information will be used for the purpose of this study and for research connected with this study. All individual data will remain confidential and will be analysed in an aggregated form (e.g. summary statistics) only. Statements in the publications connected with this survey cannot be linked to individual firms.
Should you have any questions regarding this survey, please do not hesitate to contact the research team (Mr. Florian Berger, +49 69 7707 5511, florian.BERGER@technopolis-group.com).
