Business and IP Centre in the new Exeter Library

Exeter Library is to become a flagship ‘Devon Centre’ and as such will provide a broader range of services.

One of the new services it is going to offer is a new business information and IP (Intellectual Property) service to support small businesses, entrepreneurs and inventors to develop their businesses.  The delivery of this service will be supported by the British Library Business & IP Service

Business support offered by Business & Intellectual Property Centre at the Library of Birmingham

Staff trained by the British Library and the Library of Birmingham will provide small business support and access to a comprehensive collection of databases and publications to help users with trademarks, patents, registered designs, copyright and other IP queries.

This enterprise support service is funded through the Enterprising Libraries Programme.  The programme, funded and supported by The British Library, Arts Council England and Department for Communities and Local Government, helps libraries develop new, innovative ways to support economic growth within communities.
