With the end of the transition period fast approaching, it is important to get ahead and consider how you will secure and maintain protection - both in the EU and the UK.
Over four years on from the referendum, we are aware that Brexit fatigue may have set in for some and that the coronavirus pandemic may have affected your Brexit preparations. However, it is important to take advantage of the remaining months of the transition period to ensure you are prepared.
Navigating the changes to the European IP landscape does not have to be complicated. We have developed this hub to provide you with an overview of the UK's position regarding intellectual property in a post-Brexit landscape, along with our recommendations to ensure your rights remain protected.
