The LiEU Network is part of the PATLIB network.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PATLIB is the name given to the European network of regional intellectual property information centers which are under the supervision of the national patent offices of each member state. There are currently nearly 300 such regional centers scattered across Europe.<\/p>\n

They are intended to provide practical local assistance and sound advice on any problem affecting intellectual property and patents, to students, researchers, spin-offs, start-ups, SMEs, VSEs and isolated inventors.<\/p>\n
