The truth is that SMEs are reluctant to use patents. It’s important to note that the CCTTs announced 240 inventions this year, which is the equivalent of very large universities, and they sold them to the market. However, most SMEs feel unable to defend their patent when it’s copied, be it nationally or internationally. That's why they ask us to work under the seal of trade secrecy. It means a portion of the numbers on innovation that reach you are underestimated.
