Written Question

Home Office: Intellectual Property

Monday 16th June 2025

Asked by: Baroness Bowles of Berkhamsted (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many intellectual property licences the Home Office holds under contracts or terms of reference for (1) grants, (2) pre-procurement or proof of concept work, and (3) procurement; how many of those have sub-licensing rights; how many of those have resulted in sub-licensing; and how many of those sub-licences are for patents, and for which countries.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

Obtaining the specific information requested would involve collating and verifying information from multiple systems owned by multiple teams across the Home Office and, therefore, could only be provided for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
