What We Do

The Intellectual Property Regulation Board (IPReg) regulates, on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys and the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys, the Patent Attorney and Trade Mark Attorney professions.

It is our job to set the standard for qualification for entry into the professions and for the standards that qualified Patent Attorneys and Trade Mark Attorneys should meet in providing services to clients. IPReg itself has a responsibility through the two professional Institutes to the Legal Services Board to ensure that the regulatory provisions of the Legal Services Act 2007 are met.
