EMDG scheme extended to IP expenditure

The Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) scheme is an Australian Government financial assistance program for exporters. The scheme reimburses up to 50% of expenses incurred on eligible export activities.

A number of changes were made effective 1 July 2008 (claimable from 1 July 2009). These include allowing costs of patenting products overseas (and obtaining trade marks overseas) to be eligible for support.
