Prime Minister David Cameron has announced an independent review into how the intellectual property system can better drive growth and innovation.

The Prime Minister unveiled the six-month review during a speech at a major technology and innovation event in Shoreditch before an audience of business people.

He spoke about how the Government can help make Britain the most attractive place in the world to start and invest in innovative technology companies.

He revealed the Government had published a Technology Blueprint that spells out how the Government will support high-tech innovation, including reviewing the IP system.

Mr Cameron said, "I can announce today that we are reviewing our IP laws, to see if we can make them fit for the internet age."

The Blueprint also reveals the Intellectual Property Office will trial a peer to patent project, which will allow people to comment on patent applications and rate contributions to help improve the quality of granted patents.

The six-month review aims to identify barriers to growth within the IP framework, which consists of the rules and regulations covering how IP is created, used and protected in this country.

It will particularly focus on how the IP system can be improved to help the new business models arising from the digital age.
