SME Fund Reopens: Grants for IP Scan and Trademarks Available Again

The Czech Industrial Property Office has announced that as of November 5, 2026, funding from the SME Fund is once again available for Vouchers 1 and 2. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can once again apply for grants to protect their intellectual property.

What funding is available, and how much?

• Voucher 1 – IP Scan service: reimbursement of 90% of the service price excluding VAT. In the Czech Republic, this amounts to EUR 1,260 (90% of the EUR 1,400 price set by the Czech Industrial Property Office), so the client pays only EUR 140 plus VAT.
• Voucher 2 – trademarks and industrial designs: reimbursement of 75% of application fees for protection within the EU (national, regional and EU-wide) and 50% of application fees for protection outside the EU, up to a total of EUR 700 per company.

You must apply for the voucher before filing your application. The call runs until December 4, 2026, or until the funds are exhausted. Funds are allocated in the order in which applications are received, so we recommend that you apply without delay.

For details, see the announcement by the Czech Industrial Property Office (in Czech).
