In a positive gesture to spread the word on World IP Day, 14 intrepid Israel Patent Agency (nee Office) staff went to high schools, both religious and secular, in Jerusalem and Modiin to teach the pupils about IP.
The team of civil servants included patent and trademark examiners and also management.
We welcome this initiative and hope it is extended to the Arab and ultra-Orthodox sectors.
Perhaps, if patent attorneys in private practice join the initiative and all 100 examiners hit the streets next year, we can educate all Israel’s teenagers about the fascinating stuff we do.
