The Federation consults widely with member law firms of the Federation Legal Advisory Group (FLAG) in drawing up such responses.
The following paragraphs précis the submissions made by The Federation in answer to consultation papers. The full responses are available to Federation Members in the Members Area.

The UKIPO's Consultation on Copyright for the Future, Developing a Copyright Agenda for the 21st Century |
The Federation welcomed the invitation from the UKIPO to be a material stakeholder in this review but expressed some concern as to its’ purpose and hoped that it was not intended to sideline the Gowers Review of 2006. The Federation consulted with Members on the questions raised and was pleased to receive some innovative suggestions. The resulting views on the protection of software copyright, and whether the current system provided the right incentives to sustain investment and support creativity were discussed in the paper. |
