\n

A new website has been launched today (2 November 2015) giving schools and colleges free access to teaching resources to help students learn about intellectual property (IP<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

Developed by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO<\/abbr>) and funded by the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market<\/a> (OHIM<\/abbr>), crackingideas.com<\/a> will offer free teacher resources, advice and guidance on IP<\/abbr>. <\/p>\n

From downloading music to quoting academic essays, it\u2019s important that young people and teachers develop an understanding of IP<\/abbr>. <\/p>\n

Crackingideas.com offers a range of popular IPO<\/abbr> education resources including: Wallace and Gromit\u2019s Cracking Ideas and Karaoke Shower plus news and competitions from organisations including UK Music<\/a>, The Industry Trust for IP<\/abbr> Awareness<\/a> and the Authors\u2019 Licensing and Collecting Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The site will also provide access to a discussion group allowing teachers to share ideas, and debate IP<\/abbr> and copyright issues. <\/p>\n

Baroness Neville-Rolfe, Minister for Intellectual Property said: <\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s important for tech-savvy young people to learn about the principles of intellectual property. The UK creative sector is worth over \u00a376 billion, which makes education even more important.<\/p>\n

Providing access to relevant, curriculum linked education resources is a huge step towards creating an IP<\/abbr> literate generation to help us secure the UK\u2019s continued global competitiveness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The President of OHIM<\/abbr>, Ant\u00f3nio Campinos, said:<\/p>\n

\n

Getting young people to \u2018buy-in\u2019 to IP<\/abbr> is vital for their own futures. It prepares them to contribute to the ideas economy, and helps them to benefit from the jobs and growth generated by innovation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Liz Bales, CEO<\/abbr>, Industry Trust said:<\/p>\n

\n

IP<\/abbr> education in schools is crucial in empowering the next generation to make positive choices when they access entertainment content. It essentially creates a more engaged and aware future generation of consumers, which is vital to the longevity of the British entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Educating children to understand the correct usage of copyright material and the issues and impacts of copyright infringement increases their appreciation of the content they love and aids them in relating this to the value of the creative industries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
