In addition to Christmas and Easter, a third holiday now dominates the seasonal offerings in the stores: Halloween. Halloween's global appeal now makes it a billion-dollar business, and with that growth comes a high demand for intellectual property rights.
IPR4SC - targets the lack of intellectual property informatics and management skills, i.e. ‘IP for business’ skills, that are enriched with green, digital and entrepreneurial skills. Their lack can present a barrier to successfully engage in the new (digitally enabled) transitions towards more sustainability and circularity, whilst achieving economic growth.
The general aim of the project is to increase the innovation capacity of EU inventors, trained in HE and VET organizations, in designing and implementing sustainable and circular economy businesses by boosting IP for business skills.
The project will develop educational offerings to be delivered by the HEI and VET providers that are adapted to the various target groups, include the use of open resources, and support putting IP for business into practice.
The main deliverable of WP3 is IP Monitor, an on-line platform which will assist IPR users to retrieve relevant IPR information according to their needs. It will be a collection of: 1) relevant freely available IPR databases on one place; 2) instructions how to use these databases with concrete examples connected to circular/sustainable innovations; 3) links to currently available important IP tools; 4) technology transfer platforms; 5) national/regional registers of IP attorneys. Technical solution will be based on a decision tree principle (hierarchically structured webpage) or chatbot.

The project is co-developed and co-delivered by a partnership of 4 universities,
2 technology & innovation providers, 2 VET providers, and 2 partners supporting
the partnership, providing professional services in project management and
dissemination. Associated partners are involved, including patent offices,
and other organisations.
