Intellectual Property (IP) is a critical driver of the global innovation economy. More than ever, protecting and leveraging IP is becoming key to success for companies big and small, and Canada's national economic competitiveness. Protecting these assets in other countries is also vital for competing and operating internationally.
At the University of Toronto, we are committed to providing an accessible online IP education program to the general university community as well as a more rigorous and practical education program for those in our academic and local community involved in entrepreneurship or commercialization. Our program has two offerings (Level 1 and Level 2). This Quercus site is for Level 1. It is a prerequisite for Level 2.
Level 1 - IP Foundations will introduce learners to the general foundations of IP and related topics, including patents, trademarks, copyright, industrial design and trade secrets.
