The paper will hypothesize that by Britain leaving the European Union, there will be far-reaching repercussions for European science and innovation. To complete this paper, a literature review will be conducted. The main research question will be; what does the departure of Britain, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England from the European Union affect innovators, startups and UK based accelerators.
This report has three main sections namely introduction, literature review, and conclusion. At the introduction section, is where the objectives, scope and the method of the discussion are stated. It is also here where the contextualization of the study is given. At the literature review section, the reality of WIPO is discussed, and it’s potential. Additionally, a review of World Trade Organization is also provided. Lastly, the decision of Britain to leave the European Union has been discussed in the context of WIPO AND WTO trading and the consequences it has in developing laws post exit.
