A study on emerging public perceptions of intellectual property in UK media has found that there are “pronounced inaccuracies in the reporting on IP related matters in the UK Press.” An initial review published by the UK’s Intellectual Property Office notes that inaccurate reporting may be due to a “lack of understanding.” Further investigation would be required to find out the “cause and extent” and the subsequent impact on IP rights as understood by the public.
