Our One IPO transformation

One IPO Transformation – the story so far

The Intellectual Property Office in the UK (IPO) launched its One IPO Transformation programme in April 2021. This five year transformation project will provide a single system for all intellectual property (IP) rights and provide better digital services for our customers.

“The IPO is addressing the imbalance from many angles, constantly refining its recruitment and promotion policies and processes. It supports true gender equality in line with the The UN Equiterra vision.”
