Educating to Protect Intellectual Property Toolkit

Teaching about intellectual property can be tricky, especially for non-lawyers. To ensure that teachers are comfortable with this important subject matter, they need access to high quality curriculum, strategies, and resources.  This toolkit provides the information and tools necessary to integrate intellectual property into classroom instruction.

The toolkit can be downloaded in its entirety as a single .pdf or by section as described below.  If you have questions about this toolkit or Street Law, Inc.'s Educating to Protect Intellectual Property initiative, please contact Deborah Foster.
