In early 2021, IPReg ran a survey to gather information about the diversity of the trade mark and patent attorneys that IPReg regulates. 1121 complete responses were received and the findings can be found in the report, here and in a supplementary report and analysis. Further analysis was undertaken into the characteristics of attorneys who told us they have caring responsibilities, and this can be found here.
The findings of the survey will be used to assist IPReg to identify the actions and support required to ensure the professions are inclusive and diverse, reflecting the needs of modern consumers.
