The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is undertaking extensive research to build a more comprehensive picture of why applicants use IP. This research aims to build the IPO’s evidence base on the strategic drivers for IP and the impact this has on IP demand. Further details on this research can be found on the Building the evidence base on the drivers for IP demand.
