IP Awareness Summit | Educating future leaders about IP – What they need to know

Looking forward to joining speakers and participants at this year’s #IP Awareness Summit (IPAS) in Boston, focused on the theme of ‘Bridges, Not Barricades.’ Thanks to The Center for Intellectual Property Understanding and Northeastern University Center for Research Innovation (CRI) for co-hosting and to Bruce Berman for his leadership. IPAS is a gathering of IP owners, creators, educators, lawyers, organizations and investors, all with a common goal – to explore ways to make the benefits of IP rights and the issues surrounding them more apparent to people and society.

I will be speaking on ‘Educating future leaders about IP – What they need to Know,’ along with Stephanie Couch (Lemelson-MIT Program), James
Conley (National Academy of Inventors; Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management), Tiffany Norwood (Cornell University Entrepreneur of the Year), and Rafael Cardona (Glendale Community College).
Panel themes include
•The role of Business, Engineering and Law Schools
•K-12: When is the right time to start teaching about IP?
• What needs to be taught?
