The UK’s design system has not been updated since limited changes were made in 2016.

The increased use of digital technology since then and  the UK’s departure from the EU mean that a comprehensive review is needed to ensure that the framework best supports UK designs businesses. The UK intellectual property system for the protection of designs is complex and users consider it difficult to navigate, especially small businesses which represent the majority of the sector.
