The UK Intellectual Property Office will shortly be holding focus groups around the UK to ensure that the services they offer, and the way they  deliver them, is helping businesses in making best use of their trade marks.

They are looking for participants from attorneys/solicitors who advise on trade marks, individuals who have made a trade mark application, particularly those who did this without professional help, and potential customers who might want to use their services in the future.

Each focus group should last around an hour - refreshments will be provided. You will also receive £60 for your time in taking part.

If you fit into one of these categories and are keen to share your views on shaping their future direction, email Anna
