Brexit - what happens now?
The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31st January 2020 and the Transition Period ended on 31st December 2020. Both the Withdrawal Agreement and the Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) or Free Trade Agreement contain detailed provisions relating to Intellectual Property Rights and Intellectual Property Law. These provisions will continue to evolve and be subject to ongoing negotiations. You should therefore always contact us for advice relating to your specific circumstances. Read some points to note in this section.
