Welcome to the Intellectual Property Awareness Assessment Tool, a web-based tool designed to assess intellectual property (IP) knowledge and provide personalized training resources for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and inventors. The assessment is designed to help evaluate a user’s IP asset awareness and target areas specific to those related business needs. The tool provides access to educational materials based on the assessment results. The full assessment includes questions in five IP protection categories (Utility Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets, and Design Patents) plus five general IP categories- IP Strategies & Best Practices, Using Technology of Others, Licensing Technology to Others, International IP Rights and IP Asset Tracking. The questions presented in each category have been designed to discover the participant’s overall IP awareness as they relate to their IP asset protection needs.
Full assessment (62 questions) takes approximately 20-30 minutes. If you are not interested in taking the full assessment, a pre-assessment (five questions; takes about three minutes) is available to help you identify your potential IP assets. Based on the pre-assessment results, you can take a customized assessment specific to your potential IP protection needs. Customized assessment may take 10-30 minutes. Whether you are taking the customized or full assessment, you will have the opportunity to assess your awareness of all the general IP categories.
After completing the assessment, the results along with links for suggested training material will be displayed and can be printed or converted to a PDF format for future use and training.
