HC Deb 23 March 1981 vol 1 c211W
Mr. Squire

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what estimate he has made of the number of patents that have been registered by British research establishments resulting from financial support by the European Community in the implementations of energy research and development programmes.

Mr. John Moore

None by my Department. The arrangements made for protecting any intellectual property arising from research work supported by the community are matters for the researcher and the Commission.
