UK's IP Enforcement Framework - IPO Research Bid Opportunity

The UK Intellectual Property Office has kindly informed us that they are opening a research bid into the effectiveness of the UK's IP enforcement framework. In their own words:

"UK IPO will be inviting bids for research into the effectiveness of the UK's IP enforcement framework.

Next week the UK IPO will be inviting bids for research into the effectiveness of the UK's enforcement framework. This builds on a commitment made in the IPO's Enforcement Strategy 
(page 24) launched in May 2016.

The aim of the research is to construct a snapshot of the current UK enforcement framework for each IP right and this may include the identification of discrete areas where improvements or updates are necessary.

It is anticipated that the research will be split into two phases. The first phase will focus on developing evaluation criteria to assess the processes needed to enforce IP rights and the consequences of infringement.  The second phase will focus on identifying recommendations for changing the enforcement framework.

Bids from consortia are welcome."

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
