Abstract

When the United Kingdom left the European Union (EU), the existing free trade agreements between the EU and third countries were largely "rolled over" into new agreements with the United Kingdom taking the place of the EU. The intellectual property obligations in these rolled over agreements may have locked in standards, but they did not lead to any immediate change in the domestic law of either party. In 2022, the United Kingdom agreed the first two free trade agreements of its own. Here we look at the intellectual property provisions of these agreements to see which will lead to one of the parties having to change its law and which just restate existing obligations. In other words, what were the wins, what were the losses and how much was little more than another draw.
