Intellectual Property (IP) Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire

The UK Intellectual Property Office is preparing to launch its new One IPO patents service in early 2026, streamlining how users manage UK patents online. The platform will replace WebF and phase out eOLF, offering digital tools for filing, updating, and collaborating on patent applications. Pilot testing is underway, with full public access pending final government approval. The move marks a major step in modernizing the UK’s IP infrastructure.
