The Department of Trade and Industry says it’s considering how the Island could join the intellectual property market.
Officials are considering whether to set up a patent office which could control intellectual properties such as trademarks and copyrights.
The moves have been announced after Liberal Vannin party leader Peter Karran asked for a patent office to be created.
Chris Corlett (pictured) of the DTI explained the office could mean more business for the Island:
Work permit reforms delayed
Review pushed back until June 2026
Fudge business bags two UK awards
Lush Bakes wins silver and bronze in the chocolate and confectionery category
Minimum wage rise to affect job chances?
There's concerns apprenticeship offerings will decrease
Survey finds half of businesses expect to make cutbacks or redundancies in 2026
