From the web site:
IP PANORAMA was developed jointly by the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the Korea Invention Promotion Association (KIPA), and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under a project entitled, ‘The Joint Development of E-learning Content’ from 2004 to 2007. IP PANORAMA was designed to help SMEs utilize and manage Intellectual Property (IP) in their business strategy. In the past, most of the IP education materials had a legal orientation, even though businesses had a real need for a business-oriented IP education.
IP PANORAMA relies on a brand new instructional design strategy based on ‘Storytelling’ along with educational technology. The learning content of each module was designed with a practical story regarding intellectual property. It is informative as well as interesting.
Their are ten learning modules:
+ Importance of IP for SMEs
+ Trademarks and Industrial Designs
+ Invention and Patent
+ Trade Secrets
+ Copyright and Related Rights
+ Patent Information
+ Technology Licensing in a Strategic Partnership
+ IP in the Digital Economy
+ IP and International Trade
+ IP Audit
