Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what potential risks to the integrity of the UK’s intellectual property regime he has identified when the UK leaves the EU.

The UK has one of the best intellectual property (IP) regimes in the world, and leaving the EU will not change that: we will continue to deliver quality rights granting services, lead the world in enforcement and engage in international IP discussions.

The Government is considering options to ensure that the UK’s IP regime will continue to support business and innovation in the future.
