  Institute of Patentees and Inventors

Why is the Institute needed?

Each year approximately 20,000 patents are applied for by UK residents.
About 20% of these applications are by individuals, rather than companies or academic institutions. With the success rate of getting patented ideas to the market being only 2%, the inventor needs all the assistance available. The Institute of Patentees and Inventors is a non-profit making association of over 1,000 members who pay an annual subscription. It offers its members advice and guidance on all aspects of inventing from idea conception to innovation and development.
