Strategic Advisory Board for IP Policy

Overview
The UK Strategic Advisory Board for Intellectual Property Policy (SABIP) was established in June 2008 in response to a recommendation from the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property. SABIP’s objective was to give Ministers and the Chief Executive of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) independent policy advice based on solid evidence. Over the period since October 2009 the IPO has developed a complementary work programme to build economic evidence for IP policy.

In July 2010, SABIP was dissolved.
