The IP Education Program is comprised of Modules I and II. Module I is a general introduction to IP. Module II covers more advanced concepts in IP rights and its uses for university entrepreneurs and start-ups. This on-line program will be augmented with lectures, workshops and presentations outside of this course as part of a general IP education program at the University.
The majority of the teaching material will come from external resources created by national or regional Intellectual Property Offices and/or non-profit organizations that have created excellent content and tools for understanding basic and advanced concepts in intellectual property and IP strategy. Sections within the modules will provide the external links to the content to cover for that section.
Learning Module Descriptions and Requirements
Module I This module is intended to provide a strong background in the basics of Intellectual Property (IP). Completion of Module I will be mandatory for startups occupying the ONRamp space and those seeking to access the UTEST program and may also be implemented by other university accelerators. In addition, students and alumni firms requesting university resources to support their attendance at conferences or tradeshows will also be required to have completed Module I.
Module II This a more specialized and intensive module that requires completion of Module I. Module II covers more advanced concepts in acquiring and managing IP rights and the need to consider IP strategy as part of business or commercialization plans. This module will be part of the programming within the UTEST program to provide our new ventures and entrepreneurs with guidance on leveraging protected IP for their business goals.
At the end of each Module, there is a graded quiz that requires a 80% score to count as a completion. Practice quizzes after each Section will help test your comprehension of the material.
