To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what the average salary for senior patent examiners employed by the UK Intellectual Property Office was in (a) 2010 and (b) 2022; and what the change in value of the 2022 salary was in real terms compared with the 2010 salary.
The IPO no longer holds average salary data for 2010. However, we have historic information on maximum salaries for the Senior Patent Examiner role and have provided a comparison based on these figures.
