In order to implement the national pilot and demonstration work plan for intellectual property education in primary and secondary schools issued by the State Intellectual Property Office and the Ministry of education, and cultivate the innovative spirit and intellectual property awareness of primary and secondary school students, since 2017, Jiangsu Provincial Intellectual Property Office and Jiangsu Provincial Department of education have jointly carried out the pilot work of intellectual property education in primary and secondary schools. With an annual investment of 1 million yuan, we continuously promote the scientific and technological innovation education and intellectual property education activities in schools, cultivate students' innovative spirit, practical ability and intellectual property awareness, and form a social fashion and era concept of respecting science, respecting knowledge, advocating innovation and protecting intellectual property rights in primary and secondary schools throughout the province.
