The One IPO Transformation Programme is the biggest services upgrade that the IPO has had in more than 170 years of its history.
Commenced in 2021 they have just reached a significant landmark on their journey: the filing of the first patent application on the new fully digital patents service. This will make applying for, managing and monitoring patents far easier for customers.
The new patents service is due to launch to the public in the first half of 2025, followed by a new service for trade marks, designs and IPO tribunals launching in 2026.
If you would like to be among those included, email the team on pilot@ipo.gov.uk to register your interest.
