Wynne-Jones IP Director and Trade Mark Attorney, Victor Caddy, looks at the imminent and far-reaching effects that Brexit will have on design protection for toy and game companies and inventors.

Hosted by Word Whizz Deej Johnson, this interview sees Victor Caddy (Chartered Trade Mark Attorney at Wynne-Jones IP) explain what toy and game inventors should be looking to protect once they have an idea, as well as shedding light on the ways in which Brexit will change how toy companies and designers protect their IP.

For UK, EU and third country businesses, there will be no significant change to the legal requirements or the patent application processes.
