In recognition of the challenges individuals and businesses are facing amidst the coronavirus outbreak, the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) has made certain temporary adjustments to its practices, to ensure that parties are not adversely affected in their dealings with the Office.
It has also had to restrict some of its operations whilst its physical offices are closed, and staff are working remotely.

In light of the lockdown within the U.K. due to COVID-19, we ask that you do not send paper mail to our offices for the time being. Effective today, please use electronic mail so we may ensure the timely processing of your instructions and payments. Please do not follow up with confirmation paper copies by mail or courier unless we require an original document. We will advise when an original is needed. To make a payment by bank transfer, please refer to the details shown on our sales invoices.
We thank you for your cooperation.
We hope you, and your colleagues, family and friends, stay safe during these difficult times.
