"IP [intellectual property] education pairs nicely with invention education, so students can bring their own ideas to life and then learn how to protect those ideas." It's so important for our inventors to protect their intellectual property and it all starts with understanding IP better. Check out this PBS NewsHour Classroom article featuring Invention Convention alum M.J. Kievman as she shares her IP journey while building her own biotech firm. https://to.pbs.org/3DwCt36 Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC) | #InventItForward

A patent is a vital intellectual property right that safeguards new inventions and non-obvious discoveries. It is crucial for academia, research, start-ups, and industries to prioritise patents as a means to foster innovation. https://lnkd.in/gd7Y9vNu

The global patent system was not conceived with modern universities in mind. This need not however stop the academic sector working successfully with patents as long as some ground rules are understood. Read more in our insight.

Every year we receive hundreds of invention disclosures from University of Utah faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students. Our job is to both protect and develop those ideas so they can impact people across the world. One of the ways we protect these ideas is through patents. Applying for patents is a long and often expensive process, so each disclosure is evaluated by TLO team members and external subject matter experts to determine if a disclosed invention is 1) patentable and 2) marketable. https://lnkd.in/gfniP648
