Intellectual Property Office Analysis priorities

Since 2010 the Economics, Research and Evidence (ERE) team at the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has published over 100 research reports. Involving leading experts from the UK and around the world. This dedicated team of economists, researchers and analysts are working to:

  • build data on the role of Intellectual Property (IP) in the UK economy
  • link IP data to business data to better understand incentives and impacts
  • tackle the gaps in empirical evidence and evaluate the impact of the key policy priorities for the IPO
  • We are committed to evaluating our policies to demonstrate impact. Our Evaluation strategy (PDF, 297 KB, 4 pages) outlines the principles we apply when deciding how to plan for and carry out our evaluation projects.
