Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management

The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management(CIPPM) is a unique combination of academics, practitioners and industry colleagues committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the governance and application of innovation and creativity. The recognition of intellectual property management as an enterprise skill, and regulatory impact analysis are at the heart of the Centre’s mission.

Founded in 2000, CIPPM has rapidly achieved national and international recognition. Following start-up funding from the Leverhulme Trust, UK Patent Office and HEFCE, projects have been commissioned by the European Commission, European Patent Office, Arts Council, Social Science Research Council (New York), government departments and many commercial clients such as Delphi Automotive, Royal Sun Alliance and Gillette.
