Intellectual Property Office (Ipo) Description

Part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

The Intellectual Property Office became an operating name of The Patent Office on 2 April 2007.

The Patent Office was set up in 1852 to act as the United Kingdomโ€™s sole office for the granting of patents, although the origins of the patent system stretch back at least a further 400 years.

The Designs Registry was set up in 1839 to protect industrial designs and its responsibilities transferred to The Patent Office in 1875.

The registration of Trade marks became a Patent Office function in 1876.
