Patents

The Office of Education of the USPTO provides educational and outreach programming for students, educators, young inventors, and innovators of all ages. It supports the mission of the USPTO by providing relevant intellectual property, innovation, and invention resources to school administrators, teachers, students, and parents and has a robust outreach program that supports many community-based invention and innovation programs.

KIDS! Web pages are aimed to encourage students of all ages to learn about the importance of intellectual property (IP) creation and protection.

The KIDS! Web pages feature coloring pages designed to introduce younger students to patents and trademarks, an audio library of trademarked sounds, hands-on instructions for building inventions, and other challenging activities to help encourage and inspire future generations of inventors.
