Anti Copying In Design (ACID) and the BPMA were excited to form a new partnership in 2024.

The promotional merchandise sector forms part of the creative industries in the UK. Sadly, as ACID know all too well, our creative industries suffer continually from IP infringement and our industry is no stranger to the challenges and risks to brand reputations posed by inferior copies infiltrating the market.

The BPMA operates a strict code of conduct for members and has provided advice to buyers for over 50 years. We are delighted to join forces with ACID, to bring IP support, protection and education to our members and buyers, and ensure we remain one step ahead of the copycats.

For more information, you can contact ACID on +44 (0)800 080 3230 or info@acid.uk.com.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to continue the BPMA’s fantastic reputation for building trust and compliance within the promotional merchandising sector by bringing IP into the mix of their already great offering. It is another area where we can really bolster our creative industries with IP support, advice and education, and keep growing this invaluable area of our UK economy. I’m really excited to see our relationship with the BPMA develop”
