Speechly Bircham undertakes design law research

Law firm Speechly Bircham LLP and two other groups are to research the effectiveness of UK design law and assess how it can be improved.

The UK Intellectual Property Office and Design Council commissioned the research. With research specialists from Mountainview Learning and the University of London, Speechly Bircham will produce a report that should make a number of recommendations.

The government will review the report.
