Patent identification backed by InnoGuard

Many companies that have patentable products or processes might avoid registering a patent because of:

(1) Uncertainty – they are unsure if their application will succeed
(2) Cost – it is generally seen as an expensive investment
(3) Time – the patent proccess is often seen as long-winded
(4) Public disclosure – giving competitors in your sector valuable insights into your innovation

What you can get through InnoGuard:

(1) Certainty – innovations that pass the InnoGuard test have a 99% success rate in patent registration
(2) Cost effective – up to 80% less than a usual patent registration proccess
(3) Efficient – you can receive results in as little as a week
(4) Privacy – by applying a narrow patent we do not need to reveal all of your innovation

What is Patent Box Tax Relief?

The Patent Box is a government initiative designed to reward businesses that commercialise patented innovations in the UK. Profits attributed to patented inventions may qualify for a reduced corporation tax rate of 10%, compared to the standard 25% rate. Patent Box encourages companies to develop, retain, and exploit IP in the UK, boosting innovation and reinvestment potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a granted patent to claim Patent Box?

Yes, you need a granted patent from the UK IPO, EPO, or another accepted jurisdiction.
However, you can elect into the scheme before your patent is granted and apply the reduced
rate retrospectively.

Can I claim if I license out my patent?

Yes, provided you receive qualifying income such as licence fees or royalties from the IP, you could still benefit from Patent Box.

Can I claim Patent Box and R&D Tax Relief together?

Yes! Many companies combine both reliefs for greater tax efficiency. We’ll help you structure your claims to maximise your benefit.
