4iP Council is a European research council dedicated to developing high quality academic insight and empirical evidence on topics related to intellectual property and innovation. We work with academia, policy makers and regulators to facilitate a deeper understanding of the invention process and of technology investment decision-making.
Strong intellectual property regimes are a critical pillar for todayâs innovation-driven economies. They incentivise individuals and organisations to invest in high risk R&D and develop new ideas, products and solutions. Intellectual property is a bridge that connects invention to entrepreneurship, job creation and growth.
