Last week, the USPTO announced its latest educational effort, the i-©®eaTM Curriculum. As noted by the USPTO (link below), the launch of this new curriculum is to “inspire[] students to be creative and teach[] them about the value of patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as the importance of respecting other’s intellectual property,” and is “a valuable resource for teachers to introduce students to the inventive process through cross-curricular activities, inspirational stories of young inventors, and practical hands-on patent and trademark searching on the Internet.” Jointly developed by the USPTO and i-SAFE, an organization focusing on internet safety education, the i-©®eaTM is available through the i-LEARN video training modules, is offered free of charge, and is available to schools in all 50 states. For more information on this new initiative, please see the USPTO announcement and the links below.
