4iP Council has now launched the third of its “4 Reasons 4 IP” basic guides focusing on Trademarks following its earlier guides on Patents and Copyright. The Guuides have been produced in collaboration with expert groups including IPAN. They provide practical, interactive web advice that aims to help SMEs and innovative businesses understand the economic and strategic value of their intellectual property.
In early March, IPAN director and convenor of the IPAN Education Group, Professor Ruth Soetendorp, was a speaker at the 3rd IP Awareness Summit held at UC Berkeley, CA. The Summit was organised by Bruce Berman, founder of the Center for Intellectual Property Understanding (CIPU) an independent, non-profit organization that helps raise awareness of IP rights and how they impact people’s lives.
