UN IP agency provides books to develop child inventors

Combining facts with fun,games & graphics,the UN intellectual property agency is producing new books for children showing them how to proceed from ideas,to IP protection,to commercialisation of their inventions as the "young creators of the future."

The UN world Intellectual Property Organisation's(WIPO) free series for children aged 8 to 14 is called "Learn from the Past,create the Future"

And the first book in the series,sub-titled "Inventions & Patents" wa launched this week.
The book has easy-to-follow-explanations of how patents work,why they are needed and how they contribute to scientific and technological progress alongwith biographies of some young inventors who have patented and commercialised their ideas.

The leading IP policy advsers and practitioners attending a WIPO International Symposium on IP and educational researchin Geneva called on Governments to start IP education at an early stage,to foster a culture which respects creativity and which strives to curb IP abuses.
