The Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation's new, free, online tutorial, IP Made Easy, says a patent “is like a superhero cape for inventors ... a ‘Do Not Steal My Genius’ sign.” It adds: “Think of getting a patent like trying to join an exclusive club. There are three bouncer requirements at the door [utility, novelty, non-obviousness], and your invention needs to claim all three to get in.”
Such is IP Made Easy's relatable, conversational dialogue -- which invites people from all walks of life to learn about intellectual property instead of running from it. The program has something for everyone, including the educators who will be essential to making IP understandable and promoting it as everyday learning material. https://inventorsdigest.com/ip-made-easy
