A new website for UK IPO, and an event to explain everything

With autumn already among us, it is time for a general season makeover. While embracing the new beauty trends, you may also want to embrace the idea that, starting 6 October, the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) will have a new website.

First launched in the same year when Blur released Song 2 and Tony Blair became the youngest Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812, the IPO website has seen many changes over the years and has become an invaluable resource for all those working in or just interested in UK IP.

To help its customers with the move, the IPO has produced a short video to outline the main changes.

In addition, on 2 October [that is on Thursday] the IPO will hold 30 minute awareness sessions to demonstrate the new website and its key features, with Transition Team being on hand to answer any questions you have. The event will be held at 88 Kingsway, London WC2B 6AA, and will have 4 sessions at 10am, 11:30am, 1.30pm and 3pm.

To register your interest in attending, please email david.barker@ipo.gov.uk  stating your preferred session time. Ideally, please include the number of people you expect to attend from your organisation.
