This strategy will set the direction for our decision making and plans for the coming years. It will also make sure we can help deliver the government’s manifesto commitments to:
-
make the UK the best place in Europe to innovate, patent new ideas and set up and expand a business; and
-
protect intellectual property
We are ambitious: innovators and creators stretch themselves in their pursuit of improvement. We must do the same to support them.
Rights registration services are central to our purpose. Indeed, transforming these services will take a significant part of our effort. But our work is about more than rights registration. If you cannot protect a right, it has no value. A business that does not know why or how to protect its Intellectual Property (IP) cannot make best use of its assets. A poor quality IP framework, whether domestic or global, is a drag on innovation. This is why we will make these better too.
To do this, we need to have an effective and efficient organisation. This means having the right skills, and that our ways of working are fit for a 21st century operation. As always, will pursue value for money and will make sure that our ambitions match our means.
