As these companies grow, they are increasingly using patent and trademark registration at all stages of development, <strong>particularly in the biotechnology sector<\/strong>, where almost half of the startups apply for these rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>How does it affect Startups in the Deep Tech sectors?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is research that associates a <strong>higher probability of receiving venture capital <\/strong>funding for start-ups, especially in deep tech sectors that require more investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For startups that applied for trademarks, a 4.3 times higher probability of funding was observed, and for those that applied for patents, a 6.4 times higher probability of funding was observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because startups with patents and\/or trademarks are perceived as more profitable to investors in the equity <strong>exit phase<\/strong>, which increases the likelihood of a successful exit through an IPO or acquisition by venture capital firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any doubts about this subject, please do not hesitate to contact us, by telephone to Carles Monfort Codina or by e-mail to <a href=\"mailto:cmc@btsasociados.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cmc@btsasociados.com<\/a>, we will be delighted to help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The impressive growth of the startup ecosystem in Europe in recent years has significantly boosted the continent&#8217;s economy, and they are increasingly seen as drivers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[17],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5582"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5583,"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5582\/revisions\/5583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.btsasociados.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
