Marks & Clerk commentary featured in latest article from The Express about UK innovation

"Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been urged to resolve Brexit disputes with the European Union, and get Britain back into the bloc's 95.5billion (£84billion) flagship research project. Experts told Express.co.uk that the UK is being blocked from joining Horizon Europe is hampering the country's dreams of becoming a science superpower. As a result, they published a recent report that found that 70 percent of UK based firms are planning to move their Research and Development to other countries, including the US and the EU."

At a time when all eyes are on the UK's post Brexit positioning, we were delighted to be asked to contribute.

Robert Lind – Partner at global intellectual property firm Marks & Clerk told Express.co.uk: “Our nation is lagging behind in the global patent race, falling short of other advanced economies. "To close this gap and ensure our continued progress on all fronts, UK companies must prioritise filing more patent applications. Government funding must be allocated to that as well as to R&D. "Without an increase in patent filings the UK will continue our long tradition of handing out our technology to the rest of the world for free.”
