This week we explore small and medium sized enterprises, often referred to simply as SMEs. And in particular, we take a look at how two different countries are working with their own small businesses to assist them with respect to innovation and intellectual property. To accomplish this, I turned to two friends – Mike McLean and Joe Doyle, who work to assist SMEs in Canada and Ireland respectively. Both Mike and Joe were in the United States at the end of September to speak at IPWatchdog LIVE 2024, on a panel titled Empowering SME Growth by Leveraging IP. During our conversation we learn about the ways both the Canadian and Irish governments are supporting SMEs, which is something that we in the United States should be doing to a much greater and coordinated degree.
