It is with enormous sadness that The Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys marks the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty gave a lifetime’s service over eight decades to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and was our longest-serving monarch.
CIPA was founded in 1882 and was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1891. We were honoured to receive a visit from The Queen during our centenary year of 1991.
Her Majesty is pictured below with CIPA President Clifford Lees signing a photograph of her and the Duke of Edinburgh.
CIPA has sent condolences to the Royal Family and shares in the nation’s grief at this time.
Sign the Royal Family’s book of condolences.
