Leasing Of Intellectual Property And Similar Products Except Copyright Works

Details for Leasing Of Intellectual Property And Similar Products Except Copyright Works

Companies selecting 77400 are generally saying that their commercial activity falls within leasing of intellectual property and similar products, except copyright works. In plain English, it is likely to include landlords, property investment vehicles, letting operators, estate-owning groups and businesses that manage or trade property assets, with day-to-day activity often involving premises, leases, rental income, asset management, property portfolios and commercial or residential occupation. As of June 2026, 77400 ranks 272nd out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 3,591 UK companies registered under it, making it a moderately used SIC code with a defined commercial footprint.

Because a UK company may register up to four SIC codes at Companies House, a business can pair this activity with other relevant codes where its operations span several markets or revenue streams. The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as leasing of intellectual property and similar products, except copyright works services, specialist leasing of intellectual property and similar products, except copyright works providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. The code therefore works best as a structured indicator of economic activity rather than a complete profile of the company, because many organisations evolve, add services or reorganise after incorporation.

Taken together with location, age, filing history and other SIC selections, this code can help build a more rounded view of the market in which the company appears to operate. In practical terms, the code helps separate this kind of work from neighbouring sectors that may look similar in search results but involve different trading models, assets, customers or regulatory expectations. It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day.

Although the wording of modern SIC codes is contemporary, the UK has used Standard Industrial Classification since the 1940s; the Companies House register moved from 4-digit SIC 2003 to the present 5-digit SIC 2007 framework during 2008–2009, aligned to European NACE Rev. 2.
