BIA submission to the IPO consultation on Industrial Strategy and IP

The BIA has responded to the Intellectual Property Office's consultation on Industrial Strategy and IP.

In our submission, we suggested:

  • greater sharing of best practice and expertise between TTOs
  • more appropriate metrics and incentives for technology transfer 
  • better mapping of knowledge and technology across the UK
  • low-cost prior-art searches provided by the IPO
  • grant or subsidy funding for patent estate reviews
  • IP-awareness training for academics
