METHOD OF ENHANCING THE LEARNING OF INNOVATION

摘要

A method of enhancing learning at a learning institution about innovation and the protection of intellectual property comprises establishing a course in innovation and/or intellectual property protection at the learning institution. Students desiring to register for the course at the learning institution may be required to assign to an entity designated by the learning institution any intellectual property right that student might achieve by reason of that student being allowed register to take the course. Students constituting a class taking the course conceive an innovation and learn about innovation and how to protect innovative intellectual property by participating in a patent application (or other intellectual property application) that is filed at a patenting authority on the innovation conceived as a result of the class taking the course being offered at the learning institute, and at least one student registered for the course is a named inventor on the application.
