Published this week is a book that looks at teaching intellectual property and IP rights not just to law students, but to those pursuing careers in business, the arts, entertainment and even fashion.
“Teaching Intellectual Property Law: Strategy and Management,” which includes a range of mostly UK contributors, is a resource that should be on the radar of educators, IP professionals and creators.
The book was introduced and discussed at the Teaching IP Conference hosted by University College London on June 21st.

From the web site:
“Intellectual Property (IP) knowledge is central to culture, innovation, and enterprise. Teaching Intellectual Property Law: Strategy and Management uses experience as well as interactive, practice-based methods for teaching IP to examine the various ways to move on from ‘chalk and talk’ methods.
“Crucial to science, technology, art, fashion and creative industries as well as to business creation and management, it is unsurprising that IP surfaces in curricula within and beyond the law school. Providing multiple examples, exercises and teaching tips to identify the transferable aspects of IP teaching, this book provides educators with new approaches to tailor content delivery to their students.
“Focused on the profile of the contemporary learner, it invites educators to adopt new approaches to impart knowledge that will empower IP students of all disciplines, at all levels.
“Teaching Intellectual Property Law: Strategy and Management will be a useful resource for higher education law academics offering Intellectual Property education modules in law schools, to facilitate contemporary approaches to traditional law school content.
“It will also be of value to tertiary educators inspired, or instructed, to include IP education in their programmes as well as enterprise and entrepreneurship educators and trainers, to further IP relevance to enterprise and entrepreneurship.” (my boldface)
