- It is gratifying that there has been such a sharp increase.

This shows that there is a strong entrepreneurial spirit in Sweden, not least in Västmanland, which has not been negatively affected by the pandemic but rather on the contrary seems to have grown even stronger, says Patrik Rönnkvist, head of department at PRV.

Many have understood the importance of taking care of their intangible assets, in this case brands, and understood that it creates good conditions for successful business.

We know that companies that nurture their intellectual property rights, which can be anything from business concept to logo and domain name, have better returns, higher salaries and staff with higher skills compared to companies that do not take care of their intellectual property, Patrik Rönnkvist explains.
