Bomb disposal drama at UKIPO
Bomb disposal drama at UKIPO
This blog post might not pass as ‘legal’ news (strictly speaking), but it is at least vaguely IP related … The BBC has reported that bomb disposal experts had to be called out to the UKIPO government building in Newport early last Friday morning (19 August), causing all staff to be evacuated.  It is reported that a suspicious package had been delivered in the post, leading to a controlled explosion being carried out by the bomb disposal unit as a “precautionary measure”. Thankfully, it appears that whole incident was safely resolved within a matter of hours, allowing UKIPO staff to soon return back to work.  Gwent Police have stated that an investigation into the source of the package will now commence.
