Brexit is one of the biggest challenges our profession has faced – we will bring you the latest guidance and explore what it means for you and your firm.
Ongoing proceedings, rights of representation, employee representatives, address for service - there are lots of unanswered Brexit questions that we will give you our latest take on.
We are in constant dialogue with the UK IPO and EUIPO and will recap what we know, share the latest understanding of their positions and provide insight into how this will impact on your practice.
We will also update you on our latest campaign work to change opinions in Westminster and at the UK IPO on reciprocity for UK practitioners on address for service and rights of representation.
The last time the UK could have an extension to the Brexit transition period granted was 30th June, meaning that from 1st January 2021 the UK will be out of the EU completely, with or without a trade deal.
