Mission on Coordinating IP Protection, Policy & Enforcement Public Education Outreach to Businesses Capacity Building Activities Part of our agency’s coordination mission is to educate our public and our businesses as well as provide capacity building to our trading partners about the importance of intellectual property. We emphasize role that intellectual property plays in promoting innovation and creativity, spurring economic growth and protecting our people.

Public Education and Awareness IPAC (Intellectual Property Awareness Campaign) China Road Show IPAC (Intellectual Property Awareness Campaign) reaches out to our inventors, entrepreneurs and SMEs (small/medium enterprises) about the importance of intellectual property, how to protect and enforce that right, and strategies to leverage IP. Our China Road Show reaches out to business who do business or plan to do business in China, specifically focusing on how to protect and enforce their IP rights in that country.

IPAC (Intellectual Property Awareness Campaign) Two day events include speakers from USPTO, US export assistance, Department of Justice, and local US attorneys. The event also provides one-on-one consultations between SMEs and our IP experts. Reaches out to small business and U.S. industry in order to provide tools, resources and strategies on how to best protect and enforce their intellectual property rights.
