🚀 Patent, Protect, and Pay Less Taxes

💡 Imagine This: You launch a groundbreaking innovation… and within weeks, other companies start copying it. Without protection, all your effort and investment could vanish in an instant.

📌 Conclusion: Your intangible assets are much more than just an idea—they are key to your competitiveness and growth.

🔒 Why Protect Your Innovations?

Patents don’t just prevent others from copying you—they are a strategic tool. Holding a patent sets you apart from the competition, strengthens your credibility, and opens doors to new funding opportunities. It’s not just protection; it’s an investment in visibility and innovation.

💰 Funding & Incentives: Reduce Protection Costs

Protecting an invention comes at a cost, but there are multiple ways to reduce it:

✅ Patent Box: In Spain, this tax incentive allows a deduction of 25% to 42%* of expenses related to obtaining patents, including registration and maintenance costs. It also applies to other types of intangible assets.

✅ Public grants & funding: Programs such as those from CDTI (Centre for Technological Development and Innovation) and EU subsidies provide financial support, from non-repayable funds to loans with favorable conditions.

✅ Increased investor appeal: A well-drafted patent portfolio increases your company’s value, making it more attractive to investment funds and venture capital.

📈 Protection = Growth

Protecting your intangible assets isn’t just an expense—it’s an investment in a long-term growth strategy. Companies that invest in intellectual property gain a sustainable competitive advantage and easier access to funding.

Of course, you could go for the cheapest option… but a patent lasts 20 years, and once filed, it cannot be changed. In the long run, you’ll never regret having a high-quality patent in your portfolio.
