Michelson IP

In today’s knowledge economy, innovations protected through intellectual property (IP) are now the principal driver of corporate value and national economic growth.

Yet despite its economic importance, few colleges, universities, K-12 institutions, or educational programs offer curriculum on the fundamentals of IP.

The Michelson Institute for Intellectual Property (Michelson IP) addresses critical gaps in intellectual property education. With insights from leading IP specialists, we design, test, and share a comprehensive collection of IP education offerings for the next generation of inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs – all at no cost.

Our world-class IP education toolkit covers the fundamentals of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and more through the use of free interactive textbooks, plug-and-play digital curriculum, animated videos and a self-paced online course.

Does your entrepreneurship program, accelerator, incubator or small business center need more robust resources on intellectual property? Join us today!

Basics of Intellectual Property Video Series

You can’t patent an idea (like an idea for a better mousetrap), only an application of that idea in a practical invention. Novelty, utility, and non-obviousness — the holy trinity of patents.
