Draft Registrar of Intellectual Property (Jersey) Law 202-

The purpose of the draft Law is to establish a new intellectual property Register in Jersey and the office of the Registrar of intellectual property rights under the stewardship of the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

The provisions in the draft Registrar of Intellectual Property (Jersey) Law 202- are not likely to impact any specific children's rights articles.

Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children

The provisions in the draft Registrar of Intellectual Property (Jersey) Law 202- are not likely to impact any specific groups of children.

3)  What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?

Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC

Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision?

We do not anticipate the provisions in the draft Registrar of Intellectual Property (Jersey) Law 202- to negatively impact on children in Jersey or their rights.

4)  Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required?

If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion

It is not considered that a full CRIA is required.
