This snapshot of registered intellectual property (IP) rights in the UK, namely patents, trade marks and designs, is provided by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). Where available, company reference numbers (CRNs) for applicants of each IP right are provided. The assignment of CRNs to IP rights was automatically generated by the IPO using a combination of rule-based matching and fuzzy matching because it is not a requirement of the IP system for applicants to provide this information as part of the process of filing for IP rights.
