Huge thanks to @IPO_CEO Tim Moss @The_IPO Dep. CEO David Holdsworth @The_IPO Director of Int. Policy Adam Williams for our regular 4 Presidents Meetings (@CITMAuk @IPFed @FICPI). If they are typical civil servants then I tell you we are well served (unlike … you know the rest).

CIPA finishes this year stronger than at the start. 55 new Fellows were elected during 2020, taking us over the 2,500 mark – the most ever in our history of 138 years. European Patent Attorney members, Associates, Student Members and IP Paralegal Members have all increased too.

If you are thinking about one of the amazing careers open to you in the world of intellectual property ... I'll leave this here.
To everyone who's thinking about a career in IP - perhaps as a result of #CareersinIdeasWeek - here's a heartfelt message of welcome from @CareersInIdeas, @IPInclusive & all of us in the IP sector bit.ly/3nLjUyb

What a difference in less than 2 weeks. @TheCIPA @LinneanSociety, the oldest biological society in the world, here in it’s beautiful 18th Century library in Burlington House. I am invited to become a Fellow, which is a huge honour given my flimsy biological credentials ...

And after ... er ... a good dinner on High Table, with Sir Colin Birss and @TheCIPA IPP @JuliaFlorence8. Delighted to meet his daughter who is currently an undergraduate @EmmaCambridge.
