UK: Sir Digby Jones Calls for the Creation of an IP Minister.

According to an EXTERNAL LINKarticle recently published on EXTERNAL LINKFT.com, EXTERNAL LINKSir Digby Jones, outgoing director-general of the EXTERNAL LINKCBI, has called for the creation of an organisation in charge of patents, copyright and other intellectual property issues, headed by an IP minister:
"[...] 'Intellectual property has become too important to be just one of a number of responsibilities of a minister,' he said. 'We need an IP minister to take strategic charge of the issues across government and address the disparate challenges facing the UK.'

The CBI says small businesses need tax breaks to cover the costs of applying for patents.

'Small and medium-sized firms and individuals wanting to access the patent system continue to be hampered by costs and red tape,' Sir Digby said. [...]"
Well, the creation of an organisation in charge of patents, copyright and other intellectual property issues, headed by an IP minister, would truly reflect the importance of Intellectual Property in modern politics. However, it also would increase overhead to some extent.

The CBI press release is available EXTERNAL LINKhere. CBI also have published EXTERNAL LINKtheir response to Gowers Review.
