Ideas Powered @ School

Ideas Powered is an initiative to raise awareness of the value of intellectual property and the importance of respecting it.

Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship in Europe are powered and supported by intellectual property. Trademarks, designs, patents and copyright, as well as geographical indications and other IP rights, help individuals and businesses develop, grow and share their ideas, creations and products. Intellectual property is embedded in all the things we like, use or enjoy, such as the arts, gastronomy, fashion, technology, sport and much more.

Ideas Powered @ School contains useful resources for teachers and school leaders: guidance on how to hold an "Intellectual Property Awareness Day" and a teacher training pack, complete with materials for use in the classroom.
