About the job
Job summary


The UK is recognised as having one of the best intellectual property (IP) enforcement regimes in the world to tackle IP crime and infringement.

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has an IP Infringement Strategy which will ensure the UK remains at the forefront of tackling IP crime and infringement at home and abroad.


A key commitment of the IP Infringement Strategy, launched in February 2022, was to work closer with enforcement agencies through the placement of IP Coordinators in Trading Standards.

Due to the success of the pilot, the IPO is now increasing the coverage and expanding the network.

Working location


This role is a remote role, but applicants must be based within Scotland and will be attached to the Trading Standards Offices in Thornliebank, G46 8HR.

Job description


The role includes:


  • Raising awareness of IP crime and infringement through working in partnership to increase knowledge and activity on IP enforcement in Scotland including offering development and training to Trading Standards enforcement staff
  • Working within the national landscape to champion the importance of intellectual property enforcement and the impacts of IP infringement
  • Actively seek out, build and facilitate relationships with law enforcement agency partners and local authorities
  • Acting as a point of contact for IP rights holders, working closely with them to build the relationship between them and investigators and gather intelligence to assist investigations
  • Provide a strong and complementary relationship with other regional IPO Crime and Infringement coordinators, establishing a network to share best practice
  • Working closely with the IPO to support and provide resources for local investigations and operations when required, acting as a conduit between the IPO and local enforcement agencies to strengthen ties and deliver positive outcomes against IP crime and infringement
  • Working with the IPO Intelligence Hub, ensure that all enforcement activity is coordinated, and flagged to the relevant tasking & coordination processes (such as Organised Crime Group Mapping and the Multi Agency Tasking and Delivery Board at the Scottish Crime Campus). Communicate new initiatives and provide regular updates to Trading Standards and other enforcement agencies regarding ongoing actions, campaigns and investigations acting as conduit between Trading Standards and the IPO
  • Identifying opportunities and shaping interventions that will facilitate the UK in tackling IP crime and infringement at a local level. This will include working with the framework of the Scottish Serious and Organised Crime Strategy.
