EPO releases an improved “IP Teaching Kit”
The European Patent Office (EPO) has published a new product that builds directly on and extends the Patent Teaching Kit. Developed in co-operation with the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), the IP Teaching Kit is a much more extensive set of teaching materials that covers all kinds of intellectual property.
IP Basics, the first part of the kit, has just been released and provides the tools to give students from a whole range of different levels and backgrounds lectures and presentations on not only patents, copyright, trade marks and designs, but also smaller areas such as utility models and geographical indications.
The remaining two parts of the kit, IP Advanced and IP Search Tools, will be published in the coming months.
If you would like to learn more about IP Basics, visit the EPO website at www.epo.org/teaching-kithttp://www.epo.org/teaching-kits, where you can download the kit in English, French or German.
