It generates value and wealth for individuals, companies and countries. It also allows us to ensure the health and well-being of our population by creating a system of protections for inventors who want to share new medicines and technologies with the world. While successfully protecting and leveraging IP has become an important factor for many entrepreneurs and their startups, basic IP Literacy is a skill that will help all of us in today&#8217;s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IP Education Program is an accessible free, online training program designed to equip students, faculty and staff with a broad foundation in intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Registration open on a rolling basis. If you are an entrepreneur, researcher or student, register now to learn about your IP rights, why they matter, and how IP strategies can be applied in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-blue-color has-text-color has-h-4-font-size wp-block-heading\">Why IP Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that businesses with a higher awareness of IP and those that hold formal IP are much more likely to experience higher growth, expand their markets, and receive various types of financing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As intellectual property becomes an increasingly important driver in economic prosperity, the need to bridge the IP awareness gap for innovators and entrepreneurs has never been more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-blue-color has-text-color has-h-4-font-size wp-block-heading\">Program Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IP Education Program consists of two levels, <strong>Level 1: IP Foundations<\/strong> and <strong>Level 2: IP Strategy and Application<\/strong>. For each level, learners are expected to spend 2-4 hours completing modules and associated quizzes. Online modules will also be supplemented year-round by by relatable case studies, optional instructor-led workshops and expert panel sessions to provide learners with exposure to practitioners, thought leaders and entrepreneurs. Attendance at these workshops and events is not required but is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-label-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Small- or medium-sized businesses that hold formal registered IP are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <div class=\"wp-block-ob-blocks-post-selector post-container post-container--list post-container--list-2 post-container--statistic post-container post-container--list post-container--list-2 post-container--statistic\" data-count=\"3\">\n            \n    \n                    \n    <div class=\"single-post single-post--statistic single-post--no-image\" data-card-type=\"statistic\">\n                    <div class=\"statistic-count\">\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__before\"><\/span>\n                    <span class=\"statistic-count__value statistic-count__value--up\" data-count=\"4\">4<\/span>\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__after\">x<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"statistic-text\">more likely to export<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n        \n    \n\t\n\n    \n                    \n    <div class=\"single-post single-post--statistic single-post--no-image\" data-card-type=\"statistic\">\n                    <div class=\"statistic-count\">\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__before\"><\/span>\n                    <span class=\"statistic-count__value statistic-count__value--up\" data-count=\"2\">2<\/span>\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__after\">x<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"statistic-text\">more likely to be high growth<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n        \n    \n\t\n\n    \n                    \n    <div class=\"single-post single-post--statistic single-post--no-image\" data-card-type=\"statistic\">\n                    <div class=\"statistic-count\">\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__before\"><\/span>\n                    <span class=\"statistic-count__value statistic-count__value--up\" data-count=\"27\">27<\/span>\n                <span class=\"statistic-count__after\">%<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"statistic-text\">more likely to seek financing<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n        \n    \n\t\n        <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-textured has-pale-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n        <div class=\" post-container post-container--grid post-container--grid-2 post-container--resource\" data-count=\"2\">\n            \n    \n                    \n    <div class=\"single-post single-post--resource single-post--no-image\" data-card-type=\"resource\">\n                                <div class=\"single-post__content\">\n                                        <div class=\"single-post__title-bar \">\n                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurs.utoronto.ca\/ip-education\/resource\/ip-foundations\/\"  target=\"_self\" class=\"single-post__title-link\">\n                        \n                        <h3 class=\"single-post__title \">IP Foundations&nbsp;<\/h3>\n                                                <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                    <p class=\"single-post__text\">\n                        Level 1 \u2013 IP Foundations consists of two modules covering the definition of IP \u2013 its value and different forms including patents, trademarks and copyright \u2013 and one module on&#8230;
