I don't think this is a great timing. I also think the brexit was bad timing overall. UK's engineering/scientific corp is good with electronics and biomed especially, areas where patents are really important, and having a voice on unifying EU patent without a doubt would have helped them. They already need to import civil, construction and production engineers, and Brexit will probably end with a no Deal when the country is trying on giant infrastructures with a bit of central planning smell (and great job Corbyn&Friends on that by the way).
