Further to the release of the Global Innovation Index (GII) earlier this week, UK-based Kat readers may be interested in the recent news that the UK has moved up to 4th place from last year’s 5th position in WIPO’s Global Innovation Index 2020, with Tim Moss (UK Intellectual Property Office) commenting:
“It is wonderful to see the UK receive recognition for its strengths as an innovative place to be. The timing is particularly relevant, as innovation is a fundamental part of driving the economic recovery of the UK and countries across the globe. Intellectual property, as a foundation of innovation, has a major part to play and is more important than ever.”
