Business Collections

We hold one of the most comprehensive UK collections of business and intellectual property information in the Business & IP Centre. Business information sources published in the UK are collected as comprehensively as possible; sources published elsewhere are taken selectively. This information is practical rather than theoretical in nature.

  • 7,000 current market research reports; 3,000 trade directories; Business journals
  • Company annual reports, house journals and trade literature
  • Over 50 million patent specifications from 40 countries worldwide; Official gazettes on patents, trade marks and registered designs; Law reports and other material on litigation
  • Frequently asked questions
