Since September 2017, the IPO has published a suite of new tools for students and lecturers in further and higher education. The new resources aim to develop a greater understanding on IP with students and how IP impacts on their future careers.
IP Tutor and IP Tutor Plus
The IP Tutor tools, developed by the IPO, CIPA, CiTMA, lecturers and industry professionals, provides information on IP.
IP Tutor Plus is a resource for university lecturers to deliver IP lectures. There are four modules; creative, humanities, STEM and law, business and accounting subject areas.
These free resources include:
- PowerPoint slides
- lecture notes
- case studies
- wider discussion points
IP Tutor Plus compliments the existing IP Tutor resource. IP Tutor introduces and develops a student’s understanding of what IP is and how it works.
IP Tutor Plus helps lecturers engage their students to develop their understanding of managing and exploiting IP, and the relevance for their future academic studies or careers.
IP for Research
