GIPA offers and partners with others to educate and build awareness about the role of intellectual property in society for individuals from kindergarten to age 99. The rich and evolving calendar of programming and events brings together the creators, intellectual property practitioners, business people, educators, and thought leaders to understand changing intellectual property issues and how to improve access to and leverage the IP ecosystem to help move ideas from head to hands.
