IPReg is progressing a review of qualification requirements for future trade mark and patent attorneys. Learn more about how you can play a central role in shaping the review.

The process will shape what the next generation of professionals will need to know and be able to do, along with how they should be supported and enabled to develop and demonstrate these required professional capabilities.

This March, join Katie Flett, IPReg's Education Policy Associate, and Sally Gosling, IPReg’s Head of Education Review, to understand how you can get involved and contribute to IPReg’s Call for Evidence and Feedback.

The free session will cover:

  • The Review’s scope and purpose
  • The four key themes that form the focus of the Call for Evidence: changing practice needs; learning and development cultures; exploring the integration of professional experience, learning and assessment within qualification routes; and widening entry to the professions
  • How individuals and organisations can respond to the Call.

The webinar will conclude with a Q&A. 

The Call for Evidence and Feedback is an important opportunity for individuals and organisations, both within and outside the sector, to share their views. You have until 30th April 2026 to access the survey and respond.
