Intellectual Property Office (United Kingdom) Patent Office of the United Kingdom The Intellectual Property Office of the United Kingdom (often referred to as the UK IPO) is, since 2 April 2007, the operating name of The Patent Office.[1][2] It is the official government body responsible for intellectual property rights in the UK and is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).[3] The IPO has direct administrative responsibility for examining and issuing or rejecting patents, and maintaining registers of intellectual property including patents, designs and trade marks in the UK.
As in most countries, there is no statutory register of copyright and the IPO does not conduct any direct administration in copyright matters. The IPO is led by the Comptroller-General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, who is also Registrar of Trade Marks,[4] Registrar of Designs[5] and Chief Executive of the IPO: Each of these Acts of Parliament has been extensively amended since it was first passed.

Intellectual property has attracted growing and persistent attention. The academic community, as a major generator of intellectual property, has special interests in the subject.
Thus, intellectual property was selected as an important topic worthy of thorough investigation by the National Academies Policy Advisory Group (NAPAG). This is the first major report of NAPAG. The working party which carried out the investigation drew on the expertis of all four if its constitutent accademies: The British Academy, the Conference of Medical Royal Colleges, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society. The report examines fundamental questions of the general acceptability and scope of intellectual property rights and of their potentially distortive effects on the processes of scientific research. It also explores practical considerations related to collaborative research; acqusition, ownership and defence of rights; and appropriate reward. RSK666-0000037.
