New Study Reveals How Estonian Entrepreneurs Commercialise Their Intellectual Property

The qualitative study, based on interviews with small and medium-sized enterprises and industry experts, found that while some companies profit from their intellectual property, most lack awareness of its value and treat commercialisation as incidental rather than strategic. Unclear pricing rules and limited guidance further hinder progress. The findings highlight the need for stronger support in identifying, protecting, and monetising intellectual property to ensure that it contributes effectively to business growth.
