CIPA: On the road to help members

Throughout 2019, the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) worked to protect its members’ interests during what was a time of huge uncertainty. With the UK’s withdrawal date from the EU changing three times within 12 months, the institute’s main priorities were to keep members and a network of international stakeholders up to date, to lobby on behalf of members on a number of issues and to ensure that the patent profession was at the forefront of the minds of IP decision-makers in the UK and beyond.
