The Patents Act 1977, Registered Designs Act 1949 and the Trade Marks Act 1994 allow us to give directions in areas, so we can react to change.

The directions set out changes to many forms. This results from the end of The Patents, Trade Marks and Registered Designs (Fees) (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Rules 2020 which came into force on 30 July 2020 and remained in effect until 31 March 2021.
