The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) has published its Corporate Plan for 2026 to 2027, setting out its priorities and commitments for the year ahead.
The plan outlines how the UKIPO will continue to deliver a modern, trusted IP framework that continues to support the UK’s creativity, productivity, and competitiveness.
The UK Intellectual Property Office’s Chief Executive and Comptroller General, Adam Williams, said: “Our Corporate Plan reflects both the meaningful progress we have made and our focus on realizing our strategic aims as we enter into this final year of our current strategy. We are pressing ahead with modernizing our services – including the next phase of our One IPO transformation program. And we will focus on ensuring the IP framework keeps pace with technological advances and continues to help the UK protect, maximize, and enforce IP in a fast-changing and digital world.
“Central to this is ensuring businesses of all sizes can unlock the full value of their IP: to secure investment, scale with confidence, and compete internationally. Working with partners across government and industry, we are helping to create the right conditions where creativity and innovation can flourish and translate into economic advantages.
“Together, we will ensure the UK’s IP system remains a trusted, world-leading enabler of innovation, investment, and growth.”
