More information
An important role for all Intellectual Property (IP) Offices is increasing and/or improving the awareness and understanding of IP. Many valuable resources have been developed by various members of the APEC Intellectual Property Rights Experts’ Group (IPEG) aimed at educating the public and key target markets about IP issues.
The purpose of this Public Education & Awareness (PE&A) Resource is to facilitate information sharing between APEC member economies. Access to this information will allow member economies to share a range of existing resources designed for the purposes of improving the awareness and knowledge of IP.
Public Education & Awareness Resources Database
This database provides access to a library of resources used by IP offices of APEC member economies to effectively raise awareness of IP in their local market. The PE&A resources available from this database cover a number of topics and subject matter and may also be targeted to key audience groups.
IPR Public Education & Awareness – Market Research Guide
The development of an effective IPR public education & awareness program requires a thorough understanding of attitudes and perceptions concerning intellectual property. A Market Research Guide has been developed to provide IP offices of APEC member economies with a simple and useful reference tool when conducting market research.
The Market Research Guide was developed in 2007 as part of an APEC project undertaken the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), IP Australia and the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department (HKIPD).
