Intellectual assets
• A total of 28% of funded projects report one or more patent applications as part of their output. The 
observation period for IPR activity is four years after the end of the project. The number of patent ap-
plications can vary considerably per project, depending on the subject area and the IPR strategy pur-
sued. The regular impact monitoring for SME research has recorded a total of 396 patent applications 
from funded projects completed in 2014.
• This survey does not take into account the intellectual property right applications initiated in the 
course of the Patent Voucher. Internal monitoring by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) has 
so far documented approximately 100 patent applications out of 248 Patent Vouchers concluded in 
2019.
