An Exclusive Opportunity to Win £10,000 in Intellectual Property Support
Are you an ambitious startup or early-stage business with an innovative idea? Whether you are developing groundbreaking technology, a revolutionary product, or a distinctive brand identity, securing your intellectual property (IP) is key to long term success.
At Stevens Hewlett & Perkins (SH&P), we understand the challenges early-stage businesses face in protecting their innovations. That’s why we have launched Pitch & Protect: The £10k IP Fund – a unique opportunity for one visionary individual, startup, or early-stage business to secure a comprehensive IP package with SH&P worth £10,000.
How It Works
Participating in Pitch & Protect is simple:
• Submit a confidential online application detailing your business and innovation.
• SH&P will review and shortlist the 15 most promising applicants.
• Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a confidential remote pitch session with our expert panel.
• The most innovative and commercially promising business will win £10,000 in IP funding to be used with SH&P.
Why This Matters
Intellectual property is fundamental for protecting innovation, attracting investors, and securing a competitive edge. However, the cost of patents and trade marks can be a major hurdle for early-stage businesses.
Pitch & Protect provides a real solution to this challenge, covering critical IP expenses and giving one outstanding applicant the opportunity to succeed with essential support.
SH&P’s Commitment to Innovation
SH&P understands the importance of supporting the next generation of innovators. Our conversations with universities, incubators, accelerators, and industry experts have made it clear: cost can be a major barrier to obtaining IP protection for startups and early-stage companies.
The feedback we received reinforces why this initiative is so important:
“I think the idea is great. The costs associated with IP are a significant barrier for both growing and established companies, often delaying or even preventing expansion and, to some extent, stalling innovation altogether.”
“The Pitch & Protect: The £10k IP Fund is a fantastic opportunity for those innovators who may not be able to pursue protecting their IP due to a lack of funding.”
“I love the concept of the competition. This will go down well with the early-stage innovation community – it’s got a nice balance between offering much-needed support in this area whilst dangling the carrot of funds to actually move the process along. Really like it.”
SH&P’s aim is to change the landscape of intellectual property for the next generation of innovators. Pitch & Protect: The £10k IP Fund is designed to provide a unique platform where applicants can secure funding that will make a real difference. Whether it’s obtaining patent protection to attract investment or securing trade mark rights to establish brand identity, this initiative can be a game changer.
We want to be the go-to IP firm for startups and early-stage enterprises, and this competition is a bold step in that direction. It’s exciting, different, and a unique opportunity for one deserving applicant to secure essential IP protection.
