Intellectual Property Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50372742 (12 July 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested, from the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), copies of emails, faxes or letters to or from Dorset Police regarding his efforts to get them to act on his informing them about a matter, together with all internal IPO memos, letters or emails which dealt with him. The IPO refused to disclose the information citing the exemptions in sections 21 (information accessible by other means) and 44 (prohibitions on disclosure). In relation to some of the requested information it said that, if it were held, section 40(1) (personal information) would apply. The Commissioner has investigated and found that the information requested is exempt from disclosure under section 40(1) of the Act. He requires no steps to be taken.
