Intellectual Property

Breaking down the complexities of IP and legal terminology

Ensure your IP is protected, while also gaining investment in your business.

The Network Innovation Allowance (NIA) and Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) are the funding mechanisms that enable network operators to invest in innovative projects that benefit customers and the environment. The treatment of IP for NIA and SIF projects is distinct and subject to the respective Ofgem Governance Document.

We know how vital clear protection of IP is for innovators. We can help guide you through the specific
requirements and treatment of your IP as part of accessing the funding available – ensuring that your IP is
protected while also realising investment into your business.
