WISECODE Take
The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) announced that patent applications reached a ten-year high of 22,701 in 2025. However, this does not mean the UK market has become easier to enter; instead, it signals a significant slowdown in examination speed. While trademark applications surpassed 200,000, patent grants plummeted by 32.9% to 5,522 due to the implementation of the 'New Patent Service' in August 2025. Companies not targeting the UK are unaffected, but those who are should prepare for longer wait times and leverage Chitien's 'Patent Portfolio Health Check' to reprioritize. We recommend utilizing Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) to bypass delays and conducting thorough trademark searches to avoid conflicts.
