What is IP? Intellectual property rights are legal rights that protect an innovator’s inventions, products, service, artistic works, scientific developments and discoveries. There are four types of IP: Patent, Trademark, Copyright, Trade Secrets.
Why is IP important for students? Securing IP accelerates the investment in and monetizing of student innovation. Creating clarity and ownership for an inventor’s ideas and discoveries inspires innovators to create knowing that they can monetize and perhaps market their creations—technologies, art, products, research. IP incentivizes new business development, job creation, and economic growth.
