Intellectual property must be integrated into EU's future industrial policy, according to BusinessEurope

At the heart of BusinessEurope's priorities for the next institutional cycle, which were published on 16 September, is the adoption of a horizontal approach to intellectual property issues.

Over the next five years, the organisation, which represents the European business community, is calling for the integration of intellectual property (IP)—a subject it considers "fundamental” to the European economy—into EU industrial policy, in the same way as innovation or competition policies.
