Manage intellectual property

You can set up or sign in to an account to manage intellectual property (IP), including patents and applications that you own or represent.

You can:

  • apply for a new patent
  • view your patents and applications
  • report any changes, for example a transfer of ownership or a change of representation

You cannot:

  • ask to correct a name or address on a patent
  • make changes to any patent applications that are currently being processed
  • make changes to trade marks and designs
