NovoTech Cares: We’re Supporting Small Businesses During COVID-19

Small businesses are suffering significantly, but should not be forced to compromise their intellectual property as a result of this virus. 

To do our part in supporting innovators and small businesses during this difficult time, from now until the end of 2020, we are offering a 25% discount on our standard service fees for preparing and filing new patent applications from individual inventors and small businesses.

 

Note: We define small business as an entity having 50 or fewer employees.
