Copyright drives economic success of UK

Intellectual property in the UK in creative and innovative industries is essential to the country's continuing economic success, the chief executive of the newly formed UK Intellectual Property Office, Ian Fletcher, has told a conference of patent lawyers.
"The real underlying message of the Gowers review was that we need to see his recommendations and terms of progress in a wider economic context," Fletcher said at an intellectual property (IP) conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys on World Patent Day.
"The UK economy is incredibly rich in services, innovation, technology and design, in medical and in legal services," Fletcher said. "Intellectual property comes very much into this."
Fletcher was enthusiastic about Gowers' recommendations.
