Knowledge Resources

Guides, explainers, templates and reading lists for inventors, students, institutions and communities — the material we hand out at clinics and workshops, published so you do not have to attend one to use it.

What you will find here

  • Plain-language explainers on each form of IP protection.
  • Disclosure and record-keeping templates.
  • Prior-art searching guides for free databases.
  • Model institutional IP policy clauses.
  • Reading lists on traditional knowledge, biodiversity and plant varieties.

The FIRSTIP letter

A monthly note on IP practice, sustainable technology and the work of our chapters. No more than one email a month.
