The appointment of very junior ministers who have many other areas to cover, and who manifest little interest in IP, is one such item; the provision of overbrief periods for consultation and an arbitrary policy as to what sort of "evidenced-based" submissions it is prepared to entertain is another; an apparent lack of synchronicity between its IP reform agenda and that of the other 26 countries with whom it shares a single, barrier-free market is a third.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123244020588707776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-30001698460656482762012-11-18T12:12:20.884+00:002012-11-18T12:12:20.884+00:00IPKat seems to have frequent complaints against UK...IPKat seems to have frequent complaints against UK government attitudes and actions on IP issues. I get the impression that in the US active lobbying by the innovation industry is a normal part of how government knows how to help industries that rely on IP. I don't see much lobbying of the UK or EPO happening, and that's why I think we don't get the responsiveness from either that we would need to have much better IP systems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
