Happy British IP Day! Today, we are busy in Parliament showcasing how industry led collective licensing, for the use of published content in generative AI, has been introduced to complement bi-lateral licensing agreements. New direct licensing agreements and collective licensing models are demonstrating that the UK’s copyright framework is not an inhibitor to co-operation and licensing between rights holders and AI developers. While the market remains nascent, it has the potential to grow further and faster, providing new revenue streams for the creative industries and allowing the AI sector access to quality content that will improve their services. #BritishIPDay #Copyright #AI #Innovation #CreativeIndustries #Licensing #IntellectualProperty

Today, on #BritishIPDay2026, the APPG for Intellectual Property has published its report on IP enforcement, following a three-month inquiry to which many Alliance members contributed evidence and insight. We welcome its practical recommendations, including a “Follow the Money” approach, stronger business verification by platforms, and increased action to close the enforcement capacity gaps. #IntellectualProperty #IP #IPEnforcement

This is great news, the @CityPolicePIPCU is a vital part of the fight against IP crime and their work is internationally renowned. Very glad their funding is now secure for the next three years.

Pleased that Ministers have listened, done the right thing, and taken the proposed opt out off the table. It is also positive that copyright reform more broadly is not one of the four focus areas the Government says it is taking forward in its statement. #AI #copyright #IP Read the Copyright and AI Progress Statement made by Liz Kendall, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, below: questions-statements.parliam… @leicesterliz @SciTechgovuk

This is incredibly welcome news. Thanks to all those at the IPO who were involved in getting this across the line.

The @APPGforIP has launched an inquiry into IP enforcement as the UK prepares to renew its Counter-Infringement Strategy. We’re seeking evidence on: 1. What’s working in our current enforcement landscape 2. Where the biggest gaps remain 3. How we can strengthen national and international cooperation Submit written evidence by the end of March to help shape the future of IP enforcement. allpartyipgroup.org.uk/IP-an… #IntellectualProperty #IP #IPEnforcement
