“The Review of Intellectual Property and Growth published by Professor Hargreaves in 2011 recognised the important role the UK’s patent system plays in supporting innovation and economic growth.

This means that users are able to filter what they receive by subscribing to individual category feeds. A full list of category feeds can be found here.
Since category feeds are designed to be quite specific we have decided to introduce bundled groups of feeds under broader subject areas.
We are treating this as an ongoing project and will be adding more groups of bundled feeds in the future.
