The Intellectual Property Office is the official UK Government body responsible for intellectual property(IP) rights including patents, designs, trade marks and copyright.
IP underpins the innovation of the UK’s businesses and economy, and we provide support to businesses, creators and innovators allowing them to grow and foster further innovative endeavours.
Our stand at Civil Service Live will have a focus on how we protect IP rights holders and proactively work with Police, Border Force, Trading Standards and wider partners in the fight against IP Crime.
Our Enforcement team will have a range of high harm physical examples of IP infringing products- (better known as fakes and counterfeits) and will have practical advice on the dangers presented. The IPOs recruitment team will also be attending to promote the range of careers available at the IPO.
