UK designers are brilliant. From cutting-edge fashion to ground-breaking industrial design, our creative minds fuel a sector worth nearly £100 billion and support thousands of jobs across the UK.

But here’s the challenge: how do we make sure the system protecting your hard work actually works for you?

That’s why we’re partnering with the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) for an essential workshop on the UK Designs Consultation. This isn’t just another meeting – it’s your chance to influence how we protect creativity in the UK.

The world has changed. Technology is evolving faster than ever. We want our intellectual property framework to keep pace. The government’s new consultation aims to simplify the rules, strengthen protections and make it easier for designers to
enforce their rights when someone copies their work.

This matters whether you’re an independent designer, part of a major manufacturing company or anywhere in between.

Your experience matters – your ideas for improvement matter

Join us to help build a system that truly serves the incredible design community in the UK. Because when creativity thrives, we all benefit.

This session is exclusively for Bristol Creative Industries members so have your say and influence change, or join if you’re not yet a member!
