Amedeo Scaramella is a 25-year-old independent entrepreneur from Naples, engaged in the field of development and research. Thanks to a campaign of instances, he has managed to bring about a significant policy change to make patent protection more accessible to young inventors, small businesses, individuals, non-profit organizations, universities, and public research organizations throughout Europe.
The young entrepreneur explained how the idea was born and the entire process to achieve this important result and what it consists of: «The idea was born from the need, in this moment of great transition, to promote innovative growth for research institutes and start-ups, especially in Europe. Working in the United States I noticed big differences, both bureaucratic and economic, between the two systems».
«It all started with a mail campaign to the European patent office in December and after two months there was a positive response to the instances pointing out the differences between the American and European model».
«From April 1, 2024, the Epo (European Patent Office) will allow a 30 percent discount for new patent applications and the reduction of bureaucratic procedures that affected large and small businesses in the same way».
Amedeo also talks about future prospects: «I believe that this first result can be a boost and a reason to grow the European system and I think that in the future it can help both start-ups and large European companies. The thing I care most about is the growth of the European ecosystem, which can improve aspects of society».
