Intellectual property dates back millenia, to a time when chefs in the Greek city of Sybaris were granted monopolies to create certain baked goods in 500 B.C.E. Today, more than two-thousand years later, the debate around intellectual property protection rages on. Some claim the current system is flawed but the reality is intellectual property protections have played a pivotal role in advancing technology and driving innovation that is critical to our modern lives. 

In Season 5 of Stroke of Genius®, brought to you by Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation (IPOEF), we’ll explore some common myths and misconceptions surrounding intellectual property protection. We’ll also provide a greater understanding of what IP means for members of under-served communities. With help from entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, technologists, lawyers, and other industry leaders, Stroke of Genius will dive into the importance of IP protection and reveal the surprising ways in which IP continues to shape all of our lives for the better.
