On 12 July, the UK Government published its 'White Paper' for Brexit. In the policy paper titled "The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union",  the UK Government recognises "the high-quality service offered by the UK's rights-granting bodies and courts systems" which "help to make UK one of the best places in the world to protect and enforce IP rights"
