The IPO also has direct administrative responsibility for examining and issuing or rejecting patents, and maintaining registers of intellectual property including patents, designs and trade marks in the UK. As in most countries, there is no statutory register of copyright such that there is no direct administration required in copyright matters by the IPO.
The Intellectual Property Office is led by the Comptroller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, who is also registrar of trade marks,〔Section 62 of the Trade Marks Act 1994〕 registrar of designs〔Section 44(1) of the Registered Designs Act 1949〕 and Chief Executive of the Office. Since 15 February 2010 the Comptroller has been John Alty,〔(John Alty, Chief Executive and Comptroller General ), Intellectual Property Office web site. Consulted on October 5, 2010.〕 following the resignation of Ian Fletcher, who took over after the retirement of Ron Marchant on 30 March 2007.〔(Patent Office press release ), 20 March 2007〕 The previous comptroller was Alison Brimelow who was afterwards, between July 2007 and June 2010, President of the European Patent Office.
