The IP Federation (formerly the "Trade Marks, Patents and Designs Federation" or TMPDF) is a United Kingdom industry intellectual property trade association. It was founded in 1920[2] as an industry organization that provides input representing its members' interests in the United Kingdom and international intellectual property rule-making process.[3]

The company started using its new name, i.e. the "IP Federation", in January 2009.[4] The change of name took official effect at Companies House, the United Kingdom registrar of companies, on 4 July 2014.[5]

The IP Federation is a founder member of IP Inclusive, a pan-professional diversity task force committed to making the IP professions more inclusive for all those who have the necessary aptitude, regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, physical ability, wealth or background.[6]
