UKIPO

The UKIPO (or the IPO or UK-IPO) is Britain's patent office, amongst other things -- as it's not limited to patents. The UKIPO got closer to the EPO after a person from the UKIPO (Rowan) had become a Vice-President under António Campinos. The following posts have mentioned the UKIPO (rarely our subject of utmost focus).
