Strategic management and protection of IP assets using IP law is particularly important at a time when the global race for strategic technology gains is playing out against a backdrop of geopolitical turbulence.

Sweden is one of the most innovative countries in the world, achieving high rankings in innovation indexes for many years. We must continue to defend this position and build on it. In light of this, the Government sees the need for consolidated methods and a concerted approach to intellectual property.
In this publication, the Government has chosen to highlight three focus areas for continued work that are a particular priority in order to meet some of the challenges identified by the Government. The Government is aware that there are also other challenges to address. Monitoring developments from the perspective of the three focus areas will provide a platform for improving IP’s role in enhancing Sweden’s innovative capacity and competitiveness.
Three focus areas:
- Strategic management of IP assets
- Increased knowledge of IP rights
- Enhanced dialogue between actors and a consolidated approach at the Government Offices
The Government is continuing its efforts to strengthen Swedish innovative capacity and competitiveness, and to ensure that Sweden maintains its position as a leading innovation nation.
